Proverbs 14:23 All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.<\/p>\n
It is true that if you just talk about doing something nothing will happen. In order to see rewards, you need to put in the work.\u00a0A lot of progress is made when you start something on your own, which means nothing will happen if you just talk about concepts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So, don\u2019t just talk about starting a business,\u00a0 building a house, starting a project, changing your life. Get into action.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Also, don\u2019t just complain about something when it isn\u2019t working well, go and fix it!
\nTalk will bring you nowhere without action.\u00a0If you\u2019re trying to reach a certain level, working hard will help propel you towards that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The stirring\u00a0hand gets a penny.\u00a0It is good therefore to keep in business, and to keep in action, and what our hand finds to do to do it with all our might. Talking, without working, will make men poor. Those that love to boast of their business and make a noise about it, and that waste their time in tittle-tattle, in telling and hearing new things, like the Athenians, and, under presence of improving themselves by conversation, neglect the work of their place and day, they waste what they have, and the course they take\u00a0tends to penury,\u00a0and will end in it.\u00a0(Matthew Henry Commentary.)<\/p>\n
It is true in the affairs of our souls; those that take pains in the service of God, that strive earnestly in prayer and reading of the word, they will reap spiritual and physical profits compared to those who only talk.<\/p>\n
Let us get to work and enable our diligent hands reap the profits.<\/p>\n
