Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
The advent of cryptocurrency billionaires and successful tech investors can make us feel like everyone else is obtaining untold riches in weeks, if not days. A sense of “FOMO,” or Fear of Missing Out, can make us feel like maybe we’re not working hard enough or not taking the right risks to get ahead.
But God’s economy is different. God’s economy is based on consistent and diligent work, using our talents to produce something of value to society and the individuals in it. That can take time.
Proverbs 13:11 states: “Dishonest money dwindles away, but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow.”
If you’re distracted (or discouraged) by stories of people who seem to get rich overnight, reflect on God’s word for wise wealth accumulation.
