MAKE A NEW START BY DILIGENCE – SMART WORK THAN HARD WORK: IT WILL ALWAYS PAY GOOD DIVIDEND!
“He who has a SLACK HAND becomes POOR, But the HAND of the DILIGENT makes RICH [PROSPERS]” Proverbs 10:4/Emphasis Mine.
“The HAND of the DILIGENT will RULE [EMPOWER], But the LAZY [SLUGGARD, SLOTHFUL] man will be put to FORCED [SLAVE] LABOR” Proverbs 12:24/Emphasis Mine.
Diligence is about being consistently consistent to achieve a productive result in a given task per given time per given cost. It’s also about being unwaveringly committed and dedicated in the faith of a task through planning to be effective and efficient. And God honours DILIGENCE and DILIGENT WORK and DILIGENCE PERSONS in every RESPECT. DILIGENT hand enriches, rules, take charge unlike a lazy and mean handed person. For God rewards DILIGENCE as it’s written:
“But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE Him: for he that COMETH to God must BELIEVE that He is, and that He is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6.
“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his business? he shall STAND before KINGS (HONOUR, DIGNITY NOBLE); he shall not STAND before MEAN (Sluggard, SLOTHFUL, LAZY, UNPRODUCTIVE, OBSCURED) men” Proverbs 22:29 (Emphasis Mine).
Diligence is about WORKING SMART in FAITH not WORKING HARD in FATE. Effectual dividend comes through the FAITH Communication in the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the glorious goodness and gracious greatness that’s done in you, in Christ Jesus stead. The PLANS of the DILIGENT lead surely to PLENTY [ABUNDANCE] and it ENRICHES [PROSPERS] without daydreaming as in the Holy Writs context:
“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of EVERY GOOD THING which is IN YOU IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.
“The soul of a LAZY man desires, and has nothing; 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.
Being diligently smart or say working smart or SMARTWORKING is far better than working hard or HARDWORKING – which either way you intend to phrase it. It’s simply for these few reasons though not limited, that I earnestly recommend you work smart – SMARTWORKING instead of hard work – HARDWORKING:
** TIME LAPSE: The difference between HARD WORK and SMART WORK is how MUCH TIME you spend completing tasks. HARD WORK tends to be when someone spends a GREAT AMOUNT of time completing many things or given task. While SMART WORK is when someone spend LESS time with focus on completing the right things or given task. That’s what productivity is all about. How much time did you spend on the given task producing an efficient and effective result.
** QUALITY VS. QUANTITY: Hard work often focuses on quantity rather than quality. HARD WORK means spending long hours on a task or series of tasks. SMART WORK involves completing the same amount of work (with the same quality) in less time.
** EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT: SMART WORK is about finding effective and efficient ways to complete one or multiple tasks while also managing time and quality on both. HARD WORK can be simply defined as putting in strenuous hours for doing a certain task or set task.
** COST ESSENCE: HARD WORK may generate a high cost, whereas SMART WORK leads to work done at a minimum cost. HARD WORK is when one does certain things without effective planning, whereas SMART WORK is when we get the work done through planning and with people without any physical stress.
Every DILIGENT beginning will surely increase GRACIOUSLY and GLORIOUSLY. That’s God’s SET position for you in His SANCTUARY from the beginning [Jeremiah 17:12]. So, get set for the dawn of a New you for your new day in the course of time. NO ROOM FOR THE SLUGGARD AND SLOTHFUL, because your present and future greatness is undeniable except you let it slip off you through being lazy and mean to yourself instead of being diligent all the way.
Blessed regards as you get your life set to work through DILIGENCE – being SMARTWORKING rather than HARDWORKING, in all you do for your onward and upward trajectory, in life and in grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
