Do not wear yourself out to get rich;
have the wisdom to show restraint.

Cast but a glance at riches,
and they are gone,
for they will surely sprout wings
and fly off to the sky like an eagle.

Proverbs 23:4,5 NIV

The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep. There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt. But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand.

Ecclesiastes 5:12-14 KJV

"They will fling their silver into the streets and their gold will become an abhorrent thing; their silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD. They cannot satisfy their appetite nor can they fill their stomachs, for their iniquity has become an occasion of stumbling."

Ezekiel 7:19 NASB

A mother is she who can take

place of all others, but whose

place no one else can take.

The LORD abhors dishonest scales,
but accurate weights are his delight.

Proverbs 11:1 NIV

Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable?

Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights? For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.

Micah 6:10-12 KJV

He who walks righteously and speaks with sincerity,
He who rejects unjust gain
And shakes his hands so that they hold no bribe;
He who stops his ears from hearing about bloodshed
And shuts his eyes from looking upon evil;
He will dwell on the heights,
His refuge will be the impregnable rock;
His bread will be given him,
His water will be sure.

Isaiah 33:15,16 NASB

Back when I was just a kid,

I never realized half you did:

washing, mending, cooking, teaching,

ironing, scrubbing, even preaching.

Gee, I'd sure be in a mess if

You'd send me your bill . . . unless,

As partial payment on what's due,

You'd take my love I'm offering you!

(Unknown)

The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge.
He is my shield and the horn
of my salvation, my stronghold.

I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise,
and I am saved from my enemies.

Psalm 18:2,3 NIV

The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me:

forsake not the works of thine own hands.

O love the LORD, all you His godly ones!

Psalm 31:23,24 NASB

The fox, when he cannot

reach the grapes,

says they are not ripe.

(George Herbert)

Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation--but it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it. For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

Romans 8:12-14 NIV

But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

Matthew 5:39-42 KJV

And He said to them, "Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who will not receive many times as much at this time and in the age to come, eternal life."

Luke 18:29,30 NASB

This is the beginning of a new day.

God has given me this day to use as I will.

I can waste it or grow in its light and be

of service to others.  But what I do with

this day is important because I have

exchanged a day of my life for it.

When tomorrow comes, today will

be gone forever.  I hope I will not

regret the price I paid for it.

I will instruct you and teach you
in the way you should go;
I will counsel you and watch over you.

Do not be like the horse or the mule,
which have no understanding but
must be controlled by bit and bridle
or they will not come to you.

Psalm 32:8,9 NIV
