“ruthless men attain riches… the generous man will be prosperous…” (Proverbs 11:16,25)
In the same chapter of Proverbs, two paths to wealth are described. It is possible to gain riches through ruthlessness. The world is full of wealthy people who have gained their wealth by defrauding, abusing, and being cutthroat.
However, that is not the only path. Not all wealth is gained that way. The other path is the path of service and generosity. When we seek to help others, serve them, and be useful – God provides a path to prosper while keeping your character intact.
Unsurprisingly, when you serve well and help others in the business world, you tend to end up with many customers.
