The plans of the diligent lead surely to advantage, but everyone who is hasty comes surely to poverty

"The plans of the diligent lead surely to advantage, but everyone who is
hasty comes surely to poverty" (Proverbs 21:5 NASB). Our society has fallen
into the trap of always being in a rush and people often end up wasting
their money and their resources because they are just looking for the easy
route and quick fixes. It is easier to go to a restaurant or get take out
than to cook a meal, but a home cooked meal is cheaper and more nutritious.
If it something breaks down its easier to just buy a new one than to fix it,
but we end up wasting money and throwing valuable items away. It is easier
to just spend your money until is gone instead of making a budget and
sticking to it, but we will often have to resort to credit when emergencies
or unremembered needs arise. We need to be good stewards and use our
resources with planning and diligence.
