Scripture: Proverbs 23:4 Don’t wear yourself out trying to get rich. Be wise enough to know when to quit. (NLT)
Nugget: This scripture truly speaks to me. Not that I’m trying to get rich (being comfortable would be nice, of course), but I continue to work on achieving a balance between work & relaxation/enjoying life.
God definitely wants us to enjoy the fruits of our labor. There’s nothing wrong with working & earning an honest day’s pay; the thing is to enjoy what comes with earning an honest day’s pay as well. As they say, “All work & no play makes Jack a dull boy.”
Quote: “We have overstretched our personal boundaries and forgotten that true happiness comes from living an authentic life fueled with a sense of purpose and balance.” -Dr. Kathleen Hall
