Patience (Proverbs 21)
Proverbs 21 says, "The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty." Good planning and hard work lead to a profit but shortcuts risk everything. This principle applies to more than just money. Think about the diligence it takes to finish school or build a career. Healthy friendships and family relationships take dedication, too. Blended families, especially, require good planning, hard work, and patience. Those that do that reap a big payoff.

Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: That’s the financial advice of Proverbs 21. “The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance,” it says. “But everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.” Good planning and hard work lead to a profit. But shortcuts can make you lose everything. Now, this principle applies to more than just money. Think about the diligence it takes to finish high school, build a career, or innovate something.
Healthy friendships and family relationships take dedication, too. Blended families, especially, require good planning, hard work, and patience. And those that do that reap a big payoff. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
