Proverbs 26:13 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; A lion is in the streets.” (Proverbs 26:13 KJV)

Excuses… Excuses... lame excuses! What lion is in the streets? The lion is in the jungle! There's no lion in the way! That is just a lazy man's lame excuse not to go to work. He just wants to daydream and do nothing. He refuses to exert effort. He starts and never finishes. He slumbers night and day. He doesn't make any progress in life and in anything. For in all of it, he has full of excuses - lame excuses!

This passage is alerting us, again, to test ourselves and ask: is this a description of me? If so, it's time to quicken up. Come to God! Seek Him for help! He breathes His Words of reminder to stir us up for a renewing in our habits, and that we may become fruitful workers in His vineyard.

In Christ Jesus, as we give Him Lordship of our lives and rest in His grace by faith, we transcend from slothfulness to diligence by the work of the Spirit of life. We are settled in the knowledge of the truth. Be sensitive of the promptings of the Holy Spirit. And, mindful of the power of His Words exhorting us, that in - “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.” (Colossians 3:23-24 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!

It intends to challenge every seeker of truth to dig deep into the core of the Word of Life to point every being to Christ Jesus - the author and finisher of our faith, and to draw revelations for change, for nourishment and for strength of every soul.)
