Investments (Proverbs 14:23)

If one expects to make a profit in anything, then an investment of self must be made.

"In all labor there is profit, but idle talk leads only to poverty." Proverbs 14:23, Amplified

I do not know if I could write an exposition on this verse or not because it is so self evident. But the Lord tells us that if we put ourselves to work, we will see profit. This is in whatever we do. Physically and spiritually.

Just think of the implications of this verse. We can talk about the things that we want done, but if we never actually do them then we are poor. The same can be said on the spiritual side of things. We can talk about the investments we are making in the kingdom of God, but unless we actually do something, then we are poor.

Souls so not save themselves, just as work does not complete itself. Put your hand to the plow and prepare to reap the blessing.
