Proverbs 13:11 – Get Rich Schemes Never Work

Proverbs 13:11 – Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase. 

Proverbs 13:11 Explained

It’s amazing how many people think that there ticket to financial independence is going to come by winning the lottery. Day after day they chase get-rick-quick schemes in hope of achieving overnight wealth. However, the Bible says that even if you do manage to get rich that way, that wealth will quickly vanish. 

The Bible shows that if you would like to increase your net worth, the way to do it is through hard work. Christians should be the hardest working employees in the workforce. That principle will not only allow you to increase your wealth, but you will value that wealth more since you know you earned it through your own labors and not some scheme.
