Carefully and Persisitently
'Do you see those who are skillful in their work? They will serve kings; they will not serve common people.' Proverbs 22:29 (NRSV)
Diligence is the key to a long and productive life when it is coupled with skill and ability. Do not be careless and waste your life, but rather seek to find it's meaning, stay persistent and rise. Be diligent and excel in all things. In life and in religion this is sound and this is true. Diligence. A word to ponder. A word to consider.
Working and with skill is God's way and it is to be rewarded by an audience with the governor. Presidents will seek you out for your skills. You will be admired for your talents. No more will you be required to serve the common man. No more will you be required to waste away in that which is not productive.
God offers another way. God's ability. God's will. God's way. The way that leads to eternal life. Wisdom through the eyes of Solomon, the richest and wisest man who ever lived.
