Proverbs 11 : 27-29

Proverbs 11:27 He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.
28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.
29 He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.
 
A person who is seeking to do good usually does good for everybody they come in contact with and this is always pleasing to God. For those who do evil it comes back to them even though they think it will not. For those that trust in the money they have think it will buy their way into heaven but it will not. Nothing wrong wit having money but righteousness will get you more wealth than you handle. We see in verse 29 he that causes trouble in his own house will face the destruction of what he has and wind up serving the one who has the wisdom God in their life. These verses can be related to 1 Timothy 6:17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; 18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; 19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
We should all try to be the best servant of God we can to all we come in contact with.
