So in yesterday's readings, we read that if you things like oil, you'll never be rich. Today we're told that in the house of the wise, you'll find stores of choice food and oil. Isn't that frustrating? Yesterday, it was more about letting money burn through your pocket and not holding anything back. Today's is along the same line. The proverb goes on to say but the foolish man devours all he has. If you can't discipline yourself to hold back from spending everything you make and using up all you have, you'll always be scratching and clawing for your existence. If that is your reality now, begin the discipline of saving and having dry foods stored for a rainy day. Rain in life does come. Be prepared.
Readings: Esther 1:1-3:15; 1 Corinthians 11:17-34; Psalm 35:17-28; Proverbs 21:19-20
