Friday! Proverbs! Lazy people don't even cook the game they catch, but the diligent make use of everything they find. Proverbs 12:27 NLT We don't see the opportunities that are right in front of us, don't use wisely the resources at our disposal...buying fast food instead of learning to cook...complaining about gym fees but could walk to work for free... But what about our spiritual life? I listen to a sermon but don't take notes... don't read God's word for myself... in the tough times I just want God to fix it, take it away, heal...& right now...rather than ask Him to walk with me thru it...'cos that's where I learn about God, about me, about His purposes... with God is where the diligent make use of everything they find... #diligent #with #proverbs #wisdom #somethingtochewon

Friday...and if you thought you were gonna take it easy today... Proverbs 10:4 ESV A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich. Easy to see the wisdom of this in relation to money...sometimes we just need to get up earlier and work a bit harder...but...what if poverty here is poverty of the mind, of the spirit, of the soul...and rich is wealth of wisdom (isn't that at the heart of Proverbs? ), richness in experience, relationships (esp with God)...if that was the case, what should you and I be putting our effort into? #realpoverty #diligent #somethingtochewon
