Proverbs 22:29 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.
Diligence is expedient for success in any endeavor. God expect us to be diligent. It means to be consistently careful with your career and be effective in it. It means working well and selfless in your task. Such people always flourish at the right time.
Diligent people stand before kings, because of their effectiveness. To 'stand before kings' is symbolic. In the old testament, if one stand before kings, he's considered favoured, blessed and promoted. Thus, the diligent in business is favoured, blessed and promoted.
Are you contemplating letting go because things are not going the way you wanted? You have to apply diligence, for those that did never regretted it.
Let's pray together.
Heavenly Father, thank you for showing us the way to greatness. Please help us to be diligent and committed to our endeavors, in Jesus name. Amen.
