(Proverbs 21:5) Haste leads to poverty.

Proverbs 21:5 warns us about the destructive consequences of reckless haste.

Acting with haste means acting impulsively and impatiently in our lives.

We want instant results.

We want microwave solutions.

We want immediate gratification.

Driven by our feelings, we act without thinking through the consequences of our decisions and actions.

We become thoughtless.

We lose rationality.

We fail to evaluate situations objectively.

We believe that acting quickly will solve our problems and struggles.

We do not seek wise counsel.

We do not talk things through with friends or family.

In the end, restless haste is pride, immaturity, and escapism.

Ultimately, a lifestyle of reckless haste will lead to poverty—financially, morally, spiritually.

Restless haste does not bear fruit that will remain. 

Are you emotionally impulsive?

Do you seek instant gratification?

Do you take time to gain perspective before you act?

A lifestyle of restless, emotional haste will eventually lead you to ruin.

Think seriously about this.

Examine yourself.
