Reading: Proverbs 23:1-12

Generally, I enjoy working. But I’m kinda fed up with it right now.

Why? Well, never mind that.

I just mentioned it because of this:

“Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom” (4).

Though I don’t work to be rich, just why do I work?

To support and provide for my family — that’s a good reason. Even a noble one.

To buy what I personally need. That makes sense, too.

To have to give to God’s work (which includes giving to those in need).

To glorify God? 😯 Gulp!
