It is a common plant all over Israel, flourishing particularly in the spring and ripening about the time of the wheat harvest (Gen 30:14). The plant has a rosette of handsome dark leaves, dark purple flowers and orange, tomato-like fruit

Work Life Lessons

• Protect your integrity

• Mature your work ethic

• See your success as from God

Prosperity can have one of two effects on people.

Some view their success as a trust from God and put it to good use for him.

Others, however see it as a personal accomplishment and the means to personal

power. Such an independent, self-sufficient attitude is harmful to the faith, for it robs God of his

honor by attributing the prosperity to human ingenuity.
