I read an article earlier this week that I truly wanted to link to this blog, but alas, my Google search has resulted in a similar article. Although the article was focused on material wealth, I believe spiritual wealth as well as integrity are a very similar lifestyle. It's so interesting to note the only real difference is the "currency standard" between earthly wealth and kingdom wealth. The discipline is really quite similar. I'll skip through a few of the list items that caught my attention, and include the link.
1. Wealthy people arise early, 3 hours before they are due to work. Consider the time tithe of a 24 hour day. Seeking YHWH early in the morning is highly recommended through His Word.
2. Make a "to do" list. - Seek ye first the Kingdom of YHWH . . .
3. Diet and exercise is important. See Leviticus
4. The majority of wealthy people don't say everything that comes to mind. See Proverbs
5. The percentage of wealthy people that gamble is markedly smaller than those who are not wealthy.
6. Wealthy people have actual goals of accomplishment, not just the next purchase.
7. 80% of wealthy people acknowledge the birthdays of others, at least by phone.
In reading this article, I realized although our society tends to measure wealth in currency and assets, most will not achieve that financial wealth, but in their striving; may actually miss the wealth of the Kingdom and simple honest respectability of values.
