Diligent Work Pays Off

There is an amazing generosity of spirit found in diligent hard working people. Not workaholics, but those who put such care and attention in giving their best in their honest endeavours that the reward is the feeling of a job well done. Such is the purity of such motives it beats the alternative of wanting to get loads but not putting in the effort. Such a desire without effort leads to the tragedy of hoping for so much and achieving so little. There is much to be said, then for the diligent focussed attention to work and corresponding generosity.

The desire of the sluggard kills him, for his hands refuse to labour. All day long he craves and craves, but the righteous gives and does not hold back. (Proverbs 21:25, 26)

Benefits of a Generous Heart

Not everyone suffers in times of economic crisis. Although greedy appear to get richer, there are those who legitimately prosper even in trying times. These people are generous people making the most of any opportunity to give to others things to benefit them – time, words of wisdom and encouragement, much needed resources sometimes just their presence. Where others see crises as a time to withhold, these people see it as an opportunity to give all the more. Such is the spiritual economy that people of such generosity remain refreshed internally as well as externally.

Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered. (Proverbs 11:25)
