"Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in forced labor."
Proverbs 12:24
Better the little that the righteous havethan the wealth of many wicked;
for the power of the wicked will be broken,
but the Lord upholds the righteous.—Psalm 37:16–17
By Our Love: For King And Country
He must become greater; I must become less.—John 3:30David shepherded them with integrity of heart;
with skillful hands he led them.—Psalm 78:72
Kings detest wrongdoing,
for a throne is established through righteousness.—Proverbs 16:12
Do you see someone skilled in their work?
They will serve before kings;
they will not serve before officials of low rank.—Proverbs 22:29
Be sure you know the condition of your flocks,
give careful attention to your herds;
for riches do not endure forever,
and a crown is not secure for all generations.—Proverbs 27:23–24
“Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.—Matthew 24:45–47
Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”—Mark 10:42–45
