a) The thoughts of the diligent lead only to plenteousness.
b) The plans of the diligent only lead to abundance.
c) Good planning leads to prosperity.
d) Hard work leads to prosperity.
e) Everyone who is hasty only comes to poverty.
f) Hasty shortcuts lead to poverty.

‘Keep In The Truth.’
a) 2 Thessalonians 2:10. We should not be deceived by lawlessness that:-
1-Would fool us and put us on the way to destruction.
2-Causes us to refuse to love the Truth.
3-Causes us to refuse to accept the Truth that would save us.
b) 2 Thessalonians 2:11. Because of this refusal to love and accept the Truth God sends us a working of error, a great deception, that causes us to believe a lie.
c) 2 Thessalonians 2:12. All people who do not believe the Truth will be judged because they have pleasure in unrighteousness and wickedness.
d) 1 Corinthians 8:5. There are many “gods” and “lords” we should not be led astray by them. Follow the God and Lord Jesus Christ as revealed in the Bible.
e) Psalm 115:5-8. We should not trust in idols. There is bondage associated with idolatry.
(This Second one reminds me to Keep In The Truth)

Chris.
Everyone who is hasty only comes to poverty. Sometimes I cringe when I hear other people telling their children or their friends to be quick or to do something quickly. The Bible does not speak about any virtue of being hasty or quick. In reality, if we are under pressure of time we tend to make more mistakes.
