Friends, we work hard for money and success. But for this, we must focus on the Bible. The Bible will guide us correctly in this matter.
In the Bible, we find in Proverbs that hard work is often mentioned and its rewards are discussed. It says that hard work brings wealth. These verses remind us that hard work does have rewards and that we should use the opportunities for those rewards with experience.
Moreover, hard work is definitely necessary. But our trust should not be completely on hard work, our trust should be completely on God. Because in the end, He is the one who will give us the results. So our attitude should be like this.
Moreover, it should also be remembered that the Bible does not tell us to love money too much. Because money is the root of all evil. Therefore, we should strive for success, but not by keeping God away. We should work honestly with God. Only then will success come to us.
So dear brothers and sisters in Christ, let us accept the words of the Bible. Let us move forward with complete trust in God. By doing this, we will be able to step into true success.
Dear friends, now let’s see the Bible scriptures below that talk about ‘working hard for money and success’.
