The Blessing of Honest Gain
Manage episode 489414736 series 3670687
Everyone wants to win—but Solomon reminds us that how you win matters most. In this episode of Wisdom & Wit, we explore Proverbs 13:11 and the often-overlooked blessing of slow, honest gain. Whether in business, ministry, or spiritual growth, shortcuts may sparkle—but they rarely last. God honors the long road of faithfulness, not the fast lane of compromise.
In This Episode:
- Why integrity is more important than instant results
- How Proverbs contrasts honest work with empty gain
- What Jesus’ slow, sacrificial path teaches us about true success
Takeaway:
Fast success fades. Faithful effort bears eternal fruit.
