Work Hard!
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who work hard. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Proverbs 6:6-8 (ESV) is a well know proverb about ants.
“Go to the ant, O sluggard;
consider her ways, and be wise.
Without having any chief,
officer, or ruler,
she prepares her bread in summer
and gathers her food in harvest.”
Proverbs 10:5 (ESV), in contrast, is about a two people. One is industrious and the other is not.
“He who gathers in summer is a prudent son,
but he who sleeps in harvest is a son who brings shame.”
Which of these two people do you aspire to be? The sluggard and “he who sleeps” seem to be very much alike. Pray and ask God to direct your paths. Be like the prudent son.
Tell me what you think in the comments below.
