Proverbs 13:11- Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it. (English Standard Version)
Herbert Bowen, Jr.
Voices Against the Grain Devotional Writer
Our success is not contingent upon what is gained, but rather on what is kept. Our success is not contingent on what is accumulated, but rather on what is shared. Our success is not contingent on what is on earth, but rather on what is above. Hence, may we continue living with patience knowing that our success is a labor of love/pain, which does not come free. In fact, Eliezer who sought out a wife for Isaac “brought out silver, gold, and garments, and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave to her brother and mother costly ornaments” (Genesis 24:53). Thus, if we bear the concept that everything in life has a cost, whether it be our money, time, or emotion, we begin to realize that our lives “were bought with a price” (1 Corinthians 6:20). So, may we honor that great sacrifice with patience and care, in order to build up wealth that will leave us eternally successful for a lifetime.
