Hard Work Pays Off!

Marvin Gregory tells the story of a junk dealer who became a millionaire even though he only had an 8th grade education. Somebody asked him how he was able to make a million dollars in spite of his lack of formal training. He said, "Well, it ain't hard. I just bought junk for $1 and sold it for $2 and you'd be surprised how quickly that 1% profit adds up." It is obvious that he wasn't a great mathematician but he also wasn't afraid of hard work. Ecclesiastes 9:10 says, Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest." Proverbs 10:4 confirms the thought of hard work when it says, "He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich." Let's do all that we do as unto to the Lord and leave the results to Him. His wisdom, love, and justice will always prevail.
