Cogitations e168: about diligence

In this episode we discuss the virtue of diligence. Diligence is careful persistence. How does this apply to our discipleship? hopefully we answer that question and more. Let me know what you think.

Here are a list of verses in Proverbs that deal with diligence:

Pro 10:4  He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

Pro 12:24  The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.

Pro 12:27  The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.

Pro 13:4  The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

Pro 21:5  The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.

Pro 22:29  Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.

Pro 27:23  Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.
