Not much happened today. Here's just a devotional thought for today:

I recognize that "plenteousness" can be relative to a person's or culture's viewpoint but whatever the difference might be, there is no doubt that it takes planning and work; the emphasis here being planning. This verse does not deal with "how" to be diligent it only reveals the symptoms of a diligent person: how do you think? Do you think of a good report among other people? Of the best way to accomplish a situation? A way to turn a bad circumstance into a useful endeavor? Do you consider the consequences of your actions?

Proverbs 21:12 The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.

The Bible places a lot of emphasis on "thinking" and especially as to do with normal, everyday life. Consider the consequences of not thinking before you do something: "...every one that is hasty only to want." And in other parts of Proverbs 21 God shows people who act without thinking:

"The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment." ,

"Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard." ,

"It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity." ,

"The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead." ,

"He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich." ,

"There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up." ,

"A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly." ,

"A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, he directeth his way."
