Proverbs 10:22 (NLT)
The blessing of the Lord makes a person rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.

Proverbs 12:11 (NLT)
Hard work means prosperity; only fools idle away their time.

God wants to bless us and His blessing makes us rich (prosperous) in every area of our lives. One of those blessings is our job. When we work hard and unto the Lord, we prosper.

Therefore, if we want to prosper in our job, we have to work hard and smart. That doesn’t mean we have to work long hours every day, rather it means we prioritize our work, delegate, and learn to do our job more effectively and efficiently.

In addition to working hard and smart, we have to be women of integrity with honesty and truthfulness being some of our main traits. Time is another blessing the Lord has given us all. How we use our God-given time determines how much we prosper.

We must use our time to do things that bring glory to God. He wants to bless our work, finances, home, health, and our relationships. But there is no sorrow in His blessings.
