When God says...
“Laziness casts one into a deep sleep, And an idle person will suffer hunger.” (Proverbs 19:15 NKJV)
It is said – ‘not all poor people are lazy. But, all lazy people are poor.’ It is written: "Sloth makes you poor; " (Proverbs 10:4a MSG)
God made us in His image. We are designed to do - GREAT works! Lord Jesus said: “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father.” (John 14:12 NLT)
God worked six days of creation and rested on the seventh day (Genesis 2:2) He is working still and always will, as it is written: "But Jesus replied, “My Father is always working, and so am I”" (John 5:17 NLT). He never sleeps. He watches over us (Psalm 121:4). As His children by faith in Christ Jesus, we too are to work! And, make every effort to enter into His rest (Hebrews 4:9-11).
God is stirring us! Why slumber and be cast in deep sleep by torpidity? Life collapses on lazybones in hunger and want. Then, they murmur in emptiness and lack? Come now, let's quicken up and get to work! The scripture declared: "... diligence brings wealth." (Proverbs 10:4b MSG)
Apostle Paul challenged us with these words: "Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord." (Romans 12:11 ESV)
And I say, AMEN!
