Daily Direction Reading Plan

DAY 193 OF 365

One expert offers this advice to wealthy people: Don’t stop working hard; remember to give back to society; stay away from selfish people; don’t show off; keep your integrity and remain humble and sincere. Use your money for significant projects. Remember that wealth is not measured by how much you possess but by how much you spend on worthy causes. Here is some advice from King Solomon for the rich and for leaders: Income from charging high interest rates will end up in the pocket of someone who is kind to the poor. God detests the prayers of a person who ignores the law. Those who lead good people along an evil path will fall into their own trap, but the honest will inherit good things. Rich people may think they are wise, but a poor person with discernment can see right through them. When the godly succeed, everyone is glad. When the wicked take charge, people go into hiding. People who conceal their sins will not prosper, but if they confess and turn from them, they will receive mercy. Blessed are those who fear to do wrong; but the stubborn are headed for serious trouble. A wicked ruler is as dangerous to the poor as a roaring lion or an attacking bear. A ruler with no understanding will oppress his people, but one who hates corruption will have a long life. That is good advice if you are wealthy, a leader, or simply desire to please God and His Son Jesus Christ.
