Proverbs 3:9-10
1. INTRODUCTION
1. In a recent 20/20 broadcast (May 4, 2000), Diane Sawyer interviewed a young, freewheeling, self made billionaire named Mark Cuban. Cuban made his fortune in computer and Internet businesses. Nothing remarkable about that. But it is remarkable that he appears to have had such fun in his line of work. Mark Cuban is a man who is vibrantly alive and enjoying what he does. He also enjoys spending his money on some lavish toys like a towering mansion, a Gulfstream Jet, and the Dallas Mavericks basketball team. But even those acquisitions represent fun to Cuban. When confronted by Sawyer's question, ''Do you live by the motto, 'He who dies with the most toys, wins'?'' Cuban replied, ''No. He who dies with the life he wanted, wins.''
1. Does he have the life he wants?
2. More personally, do you have the life you want?

2. A WORD ABOUT ACQUIRING WEALTH (3:9)
1. We read these verses and think about giving. But you can't give what you don't have. You have to get to give.
2. The picture here is of a farmer. He works his land. He plants, he waters, he tills. Then the harvest comes.
3. Acquire it diligently
1. Prov. 10:4, ''Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth..''
