A proverb a day: Proverbs 20:13-How to have plenty

“If you love sleep, you will end in poverty. Keep your eyes open and there will be plenty to eat!” Provebs 20:13 NLT
So many people are trying just to keep there heads above water, and stay away from poverty, but then there are some that are not even trying. Let me encourage the latter.
I want to encourage those that love sleep, not to. Not saying rest is not acceptable, but too much sleep will leave you with nothing to eat. I guess I am trying to be nice, but I might as well just say it. DON’T BE LAZY!! If you want to eat, you must work.
A proverb a day: Proverbs 13:18

Criticism can be harsh sometimes but sometimes it’s just what we need. In this particular proverb God let’s us know what happens when you do not pay attention to criticism.
“If you ignore criticism, you will end in poverty and disgrace; if you accept criticism, you will be honored.” Proverbs 13:18 NLT
When criticism comes either with malice or with love, accept it, listen to it, you never know it could actually be valid. You may be hurt at that moment, but in the long run you will be honored. Ignore it and it may well be your down fall.
Thanks for stopping by.
