[Scriptures] Proverbs 16:20
Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers,
and blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord.
When buying goods, you can't buy them by simply looking at their cost.
Rather than simply looking an item's expense, you should also consider its positive features.
If something costs a lot without good features, it is merely expensive. But if it has positive features adding more value, then the price is appropriate and worth it.
Even when it comes to fulfilling a purpose or living your life of faith, if you think only about the difficulties and only about the fact that there is a high price to pay to do that work, you will ultimately end up not doing it.
Don’t think only about the difficulties but remember always to think about the good times too.
You have to consider what good things you will gain not only for a brief moment, a period of time, but also your entire lifetime, after the hard work and effort.
If you do, you will do things with gladness because the hard work, effort, and investment are worthwhile. Once you accomplish this and are rewarded for it, you will enjoy it ten times or a hundred times more.
You should receive God’s wisdom by casting away your own thoughts, praying and earnestly asking,
and then judge wisely and take action 100%.
For goods, rather than thinking that they are just expensive, you need to also look at their positive features. I pray that you will realize, in the same way, that you have to do the same with a life of faith.
