Proverbs 10

Our culture attributes wealth to the positive characteristic of hard work. There is no question that laziness destroys any treasure that a man may have. Solomon repeatedly warns against avoiding work and Paul gave the divine instruction that the refusal to work should be met with a closed hand. In verse 22 Solomon points out the root cause of accumulated wealth: God's blessing. No matter how hard we work if God does not bless our efforts there will be no fruit to our labor. Likewise any efforts to gain assets must meet God's approval.  This truth means that I need to adjust my investment practices.
