“Being lazy will make you poor, but hard work will make you rich.” (Proverbs 10:4, GNB)
“A hard worker has plenty of food, but a person who chases fantasies has no sense.” (Proverbs 12:11, NLT)

“Don’t love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.”” (Hebrews 13:5, NLT)
“I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.” (Philippians 4:12, NIV)
