Proverbs 15:19 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

“The way of the lazy man is like a hedge of thorns, But the way of the upright is a highway.”(Proverbs 15:19 NKJV)

A warning sign is seen flashing: Obstruction! Obstruction! Obstruction! Yes, laziness is an obstruction to blessings and prosperity. It drives off opportunities like thorny thickets repel would-be intruders. It's like bushes of dense poison ivy, standing harmless to repulse promising adventurers.

Absence of clear pathways due to laziness enables briers and thorns to grow on the way of the sloth. Over time it becomes a hedge of thorns against God's favors. Dearth awaits the lazy.

But, the diligence of the upright is manifest in the smooth road he walks on. Consistency and frequency of passage and activity prevent the thistles and thorns to grow on its path. Life teems and thrives for the righteous. He honors God in his work - which is the way we should go, as believers in Jesus - resting in His grace. Our worship should be reflected in the works that we do, as the scripture exhorts with these words: “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for their wrongs, and there is no favoritism.”(Colossians 3:23-25 NIV)

And I say, AMEN!
