When God says...
"Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise, Which, having no captain, Overseer or ruler, Provides her supplies in the summer, And gathers her food in the harvest. How long will you slumber, O sluggard? When will you rise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep— So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler, And your need like an armed man." (Proverbs 6:6-11 NKJV)
In these verses God reminds us a zeal for work is not bad, but good. It enables one to gather provisions and resources not only for one’s own needs, but to be a blessing, which is God's intention for us to be. My/our desire then is, be wise. Cooperate with God. Be zealot in doing my/our part of faith. He already did His part. Blessings are manifest on what we touch.
For His reminder, I lift up my thanksgiving. It is written: "His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire." (2 Peter 1:3-4)
And I say … AMEN!
