Today's Verse Reflection
Our actions and choices have consequences. Just as diligent work can lead to material wealth, a diligent faith can lead to spiritual abundance. This doesn’t mean that wealth is a sign of God’s favor but rather that the principles of hard work and responsibility are important in all aspects of life which includes our spiritual journey. As Christians, we need therefore to be active in their faith, to avoid spiritual complacency, and to live a life that reflects their commitment to God’s teachings.
