Thoughts follow identity

Proverbs 21:5 KJV — The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.

Before the thoughts comes the identity.

The thoughts…of the diligent vs

The thoughts…of the hasty.

You’re not diligent because you think diligent thoughts.

You think diligent thoughts (that tend only to plenty) because you’re diligent.

Who you are (identity) sets the tone for what you do and what you have.
