Do not wear yourself out to get rich; do not trust your own cleverness.
Proverbs 23:4
Takeaway
The race to accumulate wealth is a hollow marathon that leaves you spiritually starved. God is warning you not to exhaust yourself chasing money or to believe your own schemes will save you — because neither will. The only solid ground is trusting Him, not your hustle.
Application
Today, identify one area where you're grinding for security (money, status, control) instead of resting in God's provision. Name it. Then do one small thing that proves you trust Him more than your own effort — it might be saying no to an extra shift, refusing to check your portfolio obsessively, or simply asking Him for what you need instead of white-knuckling your way to it.
