Diligence is a key to walking in the blessings of God. Diligence means to do what you are doing with careful and persistent effort.
And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ. Colossians 3:23-24
Diligence is also a fruit of the heart, and a diligent heart always produces good fruit. Eccl. 11:6 says; In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening do not withhold your hand; for you do not know which will prosper, either this or that, or whether both alike will be good.
The word of God doesn’t stop there concerning diligence; it has much to say on this subject. Here are just a few scriptures on diligence.
The hand of the diligent will rule, but the lazy man will be put to forced labor. Proverbs 12:24
The soul of a lazy man desires, and has noting; but the soul of the diligent shall be made rich. Proverbs 13:4
The plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty, but those of everyone who is hasty, surely to poverty. Proverbs 21:5
Purpose in your heart today to be a person of diligence, as you do, you will find you begin to produce the fruits of diligence which are the ability to rule, riches and plenty, and those are all things that are part of the blessing of God.
