A Proverb A Day: Proverbs 13:4 Do you want prosperity? Work hard.
Posted by Lance Lawshe in Bible, Education, Family, Inspirational, Work on May 13, 2010
Reflecting on this proverb today caused me to pause on this verse: “Lazy people want much but get little, but those who work hard will prosper and be satisfied.”
Just a simple statement, but so many of us fail to heed it’s direction. Even I have been saying to myself over and over these few past weeks. “Lance you’ve just got to work harder.” In everything you do, we need to do it as if it were our last day on earth; as if it were a job to complete for God. How would God rate your level of effort at your job? In your business? In your home? As a spouse? It takes hard work to maintain each of these relationships. I thought I was doing okay. I thought working smarter was better, at least that’s what I was taught. I am not encouraging anyone to not work smart, but I am encouraging everyone to work harder. Take a look at your level of effort, and if you can step it up, do so.
Remember there is a promise in the word today, “those who work hard, will prosper and be satisfied.”
Be Wise.
A proverb a day: Proverbs 6:6-11 -Learn from ants

“Take a lesson from the ants, you lazybones. Learn from their ways and be wise! Even though they have no prince, governor, or ruler to make them work, they labor hard all summer, gathering food for the winter. But you, lazybones, how long will you sleep? When will you wake up? I want you to learn this lesson: A little extra sleep, a little more slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest- and poverty will pounce on you like a bandit; scarcity will attack you like an armed robber.” Proverbs 6:6-11 NLT
Just reading that should give you all the clarity you need. Don’t let scarcity slip up on you.
Be wise.
Thanks for stopping by.
