God’s plan to accumulate wealth has two parts. We have a part and God has a part. We can have faith that God is going to prosper us, but we must also diligently work (James 2:17).

My Part
• Engage in honest work

Proverbs 10:2-3, 16
Treasures gained by wickedness do not profit, but righteousness delivers from death. The LORD does not let the righteous go hungry, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked…The wage of the righteous leads to life, the gain of the wicked to sin.

• Engage in diligent, consistent work, not market speculations, nor hitting the lottery

Proverbs 10:4-5
A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich. He who gathers in summer is a prudent son, but he who sleeps in harvest is a son who brings shame

God’s Part
• Blessing the work of my hands as he sees fit

Proverbs 10:22
The blessing of the LORD makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it

May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us;
     establish the work of our hands for us—
     yes, establish the work of our hands. Psalm 90:17
