Proverbs 12:9 ” Better to be a nobody and yet have a servant than to pretend to be somebody and have no food.”

This Proverb contrasts two different types of people…the one with humble prosperity and the other that conceals poverty with pretense. In this world of immediate gratification and the fear of missing out, people would rather pin their dreams on unrealistic expectations, fantasies, and self-importance. Their goal is to keep up with the Jones… while dreaming of affluence but refusing to actually work for it. But those who quietly work without fanfare are far better off. They have money in the bank, bills paid, and peace in their heart as good stewards of what God has given them…for they have sought first the kingdom of God.
