Proverbs Series - Episode 21 - The Why Matters
Jul 21, 202500:06:27Tap to summarizeEpisode 21 – The Why Matters Key Verses: Proverbs 21:2 – “Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the heart.” Proverbs 21:3 – “To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.” Proverbs 21:5 – “The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.” Proverbs 21:13 – “Whoever closes his ear to the cry of the poor will himself call out and not be answered.” Proverbs 21:30–31 – “No wisdom, no understanding, no counsel can avail against the Lord. The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the Lord.” Overview: In Episode 21, Greg Carroll unpacks Proverbs 21 and asks a heart-level question: Why are you pursuing financial growth? This episode challenges listeners to examine their motives, slow down their hustle, open their ears to the needs of others, and submit their plans to God's purpose. At the core of biblical stewardship is not performance—but posture. What You’ll Learn: Why God cares more about motives than money How hasty decisions undermine long-term abundance What generosity reveals about your relationship with money and grace Why real success comes not from control but surrender Take Action: Reflect: Are you pursuing wealth from a place of peace—or fear and pride? Ask: Is generosity something you model—or something you avoid? Recalibrate: Surrender your outcomes to God and focus on obedience, not optics Pray: “Lord, weigh my heart. Purify my motives. Teach me to walk in quiet obedience—and trust You for the victory.” Mentioned in the Episode: Coaching and practical tools at LegacyFinancialCoach.com Be Free Greg Follow Me Here: Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/1legacyfinancialcoach Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/legacyfinancialcoach X - https://x.com/1legacycoach YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@legacyfinancialcoach TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@legacyfinancialcoach Website: https://www.legacyfinancialcoach.com/
