God's Word encourages a strong work ethic, something socialism tends to discourage. Work produces profit, from which a person can generously give to others.

We need to follow Nehemiah's example in submitting to God, focusing on the right goals, having wisdom in handling complex situations, and having courage.

If we are untrustworthy with a paltry sum of money, we will be untrustworthy with the vast resources of God's creative power.
