Proverbs 5:10

Our hard work is precious. Poor choices can lead to our efforts and resources benefiting those who have no care for us.

Memory phrase: I work hard for what is right.

Talk about it: Have you ever worked really hard on something only for it to be taken away? How did that feel?

Prayer: God, help me use my hard work and effort for things that truly honour You.
