Don't eat your future
A seed planted in a good soil presents an opportunity for a harvest. With harvest comes the possibility of an increase. With increase, choices should be made to either plant more of the harvested seeds or just eat up the increase.
Those who make the choice to further plant their harvested seeds are wise and those whose decision is to eat up their increase are foolish.
The future is real and wisdom demands we prepare for it. Eating up everything we have today is not a wise way to prepare for the future.
No matter how hungry and in need we are today, it should matter to us that having some of our harvests stored up for tomorrow is going to keep us fed for longer periods.
Gluttons eat their future, niblers save for their future.
