He said to me “let your life be without covetousness and be content with such as you have…”
Simpe@46
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear What man shall do unto me.
You know what?
A man’s life does not consist of the abundance of things he possesses
And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
Luke 12:15 KJV
The race is not to swift…Time and chance happens to all men; keep praying, keep reading, keep learning, keep readying yourself for the big break. Your time will come!
I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.
Ecclesiastes 9:11-12 KJV
Except the Lord build a city, they labour in vain that build
Except the LORD build the house, They labour in vain that build it: Except the LORD keep the city, The watchman waketh but in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: For so he giveth his beloved sleep.
Psalm 127:1-2 KJV
The purpose of God stands by election and not of works…
And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac; (for the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) it was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
Romans 9:10-16 KJV
Don’t chase the world and lose your own soul
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
Mark 8:36 KJV
Diligence is the master key to success
Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; He shall not stand before mean men.
Proverbs 22:29 KJV
Stay blessed
