Proverbs 13:17 – Worldly Success

God wants us to succeed in everything we do, but we should never put the pursuit of money ahead of our relationship with God. Proverbs 13:17 speaks to this:

Wealth from get-rich-quick schemes quickly disappears; wealth from hard work grows over time.

Proverbs 13:17

Con: What's wrong?
Nim: Abby pointed out something bad I've been doing. I was trying to get rich quick so I could have power over my own destiny, instead of trusting God to care for me.
Con: Cheer up, little guy. At least you see the error of your ways.
Nim: I know. But now I don't get to dominate the world!

Only a fool relies on himself over God.
