Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 21. I will then key in on verse 5 - The plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty; But those of everyone who is hasty, surely to poverty. I will begin today's podcast by reading the commentary in my Bible (the Nelson Study Bible) for this verse. I will then review several things:
1. If you do not enjoy going to work, the first thing you should do is go to God in prayer and ask Him if this is the job that He would like for you to be in
2. The most important thing is life is to have a good relationship with God and that you have established a habit of going to Him in prayer whenever you have a need - Everything in life we do comes out of the relationship you have with the Father
3. If you do not like going to work because you do not like the job that you do -a. ask your immediate supervisor if there are any alternative jobs at your company that you might be better suited for; b. ask if there are any classes that you could possible take to gain more skills and thus qualify for a higher-paying job; c. change your attitude about the present job you do and do Colossians 3: 23 - do everything heartily as unto the Lord
4. If you do not like some of the people that you work with, remember that God loves every single one of us, and that if God loves someone, so should we; again you may need to change your attitude about that certain "sandpaper" person (if you didn't listen to yesterday's message, please check it out).
5. I will review today's verse - Proverb 21: verse 5 which says that plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty. Friends, if you don't enjoy going to your job (for whatever reason) you have to plan to change some of the things you are currently doing as far as your job are concerned.
6. Two things that you should never do - if you don't like your job, begin drinking (such as having a couple of drinks during your lunch hour). Nothing good will ever come out of that. Second, if you do not like your job NEVER quite out of frustration or anger prior to getting another job.
Suggested scripture reading: 1. Reread the proverb of the day, Proverb 21 today; read Proverb 22 tomorrow, and Proverb 23 on Sunday.
