Do anything and everything possible to escape chronic poverty and the inability to feed yourself. The Lord is your Shepherd; you shall not lack or want. Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your heart. Jesus did everything well.
Chronic poverty leads to bad health, slavery, exploitation, and abuse. Some humans see financial disadvantage as an opportunity to swoop in and exploit. They prey on those who lack.
The Israelites became slaves because they went to Egypt to beg for bread. The Word of God says,
Psalm 37:25,
I have been young, and now am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his descendants begging bread.
The Word of God clearly reveals that God does not want His children to beg for bread.
Jesus did not beg for bread. Paul did not beg for bread. Be very passionate about diligence and hard work.
The Bible consistently teaches:
• work diligently
• avoid laziness
• pursue productivity
• develop ability
Proverbs repeatedly warns that neglect leads to poverty, while diligence produces increase.
“The hand of the diligent makes rich.” — Proverbs ten
God blesses faithful effort.
Combine hard work with persistent prayer and dependence on God.
Matthew 7:7–11 — “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!”
Pray! Work hard! Ask God for sustenance and provision. God is the great Provider. He will surely provide for you, in Jesus name.
May God open great and effective doors to financial abundance, security, and independence for you that no man can close, in Jesus name, amen.
