The hand of the diligent will rule, But the lazy [man] will be put to forced labor. Proverbs 12:24 (NKJV)
When you look around the world it’s not the good, kind, and caring people who make up the majority in positions of power. It’s not the selfless and generous who are the richest or in control of resources. Yet God gave earth to all of us and desires that His children who have His heart of love and compassion rule, lead, and control. It’s a spiritual principle that those who refuse to give up or be denied are the ones who take charge. This has happened over and over again in the history of mankind. Unfortunately, most of the time the good, kind, caring, people give up easily while the mean and ruthless stand their ground. The hand of the diligent rules while those who take things simple are forced to slavery. As children of God, we should awake and take our place and reign in this world. We should be diligent concerning kingdom business so we fulfill the ” occupy till I come” (Luke 19:13 KJV) mandate that our Lord left us.
