Get up lazybones - go to work!

Good morning everyone!! Another great day to be alive in Jesus! God is good all the time, all the time God is good!


Proverbs 6:6-11 KJV "Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways and be wise: Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? When wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? Yet a little sleep,a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep; so shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man."

Wow!! Are you lazy, won't get up in the morning, don't like to work? Watch out!

Those last few moments of sleep are delicious, we savor them as we resist beginning another workday. But Proverbs warns against giving in to the temptation of laziness, of sleeping instead of working.

This does not mean we should never rest; God gave the Jews the Sabbath, a weekly day of rest and restoration. But we should not rest when we should be working.

The ant is used as an example because it utilizes its energy and resources economically. If laziness turns us from our responsibilities, poverty may soon bar us from the legitimate rest we should enjoy.

Reread this and contemplate it for a few moments. Great wisdom! Thank you for reading with me today. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
