Attitudes of Great Harvesters: A Different Spirit
A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich. He who gathers in summer is a prudent son., but he who sleeps in harvest is a son who brings shame. Prov 10:4, 5 ESV
But my servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit and has followed me fully, I will bring into the land into which he went, and his descendants shall possess it. Numbers 14:24
