Proverbs 13:17 – Worldly Success

Get RIch Quick Scheme

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: 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!

Prayer Is Still Free

It’s easy to let the stress of today’s world get you down. But instead of complaining, say a prayer today asking God to help you recognize your blessings.

↓ Transcript
Con:
I heard a man complain about the price of gas today.
He said it was an outrage how much he had to pay.

But gas was not the only thing he liked to rave about.
He then said his grocery bill was really too far out.

In spite of all his blessings, no gratitude had he.
He failed to recognize that prayer is still free!

If you're feeling beaten down by the high cost of living, make a date for prayer time with God.

Con:
Isaiah 49:16 will rock your socks off!!!

It features God telling the people of Israel He will never forget them, saying "I have engraved you on the palms of My hands."

You could say that the holes in Jesus' hands represent the names of those He died for.
