Rule with a diligent hand

Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in forced labor.

Proverbs 12:24

The word diligent in Hebrew called 'harusim', which means perseverance.
In other words, pushing forward in spite of obstacles, hurdles, and challenges.
This proverb says that such a person will rule.
But those who end up giving up and lazy to push forward will become slaves.
This is a deep truth in the Kingdom of God.
Our LORD Jesus Christ has done everything for us and given the rule and authority into our hands.
We have the authority to move mountains, command hurdles to be removed, and bind the forces against us.
In fact in Luke 10:19, Jesus said, I have given you authority over all the powers of the enemy.
We now, as children of God, be diligent and push forward against the hurdles, obstacles, and challenges the enemy brings against us.
When we are diligent, God helps us and we overcome the struggle and become rulers. We will be on top of the struggle and subdue it under our feet.
But when we get afraid, fearful, and worry and do not push forward in faith, we become slaves to the struggles that come to bother us again and again.
Today, which hand is yours? Is it diligent or lazy?
Are you a ruler or a laborer?
When God is for you, who can be against you?
Rule with a diligent hand.
