How Is Your Fig Tree?
July 26, 2009
Proverbs 27:18 NIV) says, "He who tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and he who looks after his master will be honored."
This is pretty simple:
Do your job.
Do your best.
Then, do better.
Treat your job, if you still have one, like it is your own business and act in the boss's interest as if his or her success if yours.
Even if you are trying to retire with all the energy and ingenuity you have during your off hours by building your own empire, do your J-O-B (just over broke) with diligence and be conscientious.
There will be fruit. Sometimes the fruit will grow in places you do not expect, but it will grow and you will eat it.
Of course, once you get your own fig tree, you will get a bigger share.
