Proverbs 24:30-34 I went past the field of a sluggard, past the vineyard of someone who has no sense; thorns had come up everywhere, the ground was covered with weeds, and the stone wall was in ruins. I applied my heart to what I observedand learned a lesson from what I saw: A little sleep, a little slumber,a little folding of the hands to rest— and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man.

Laziness yields nothing but poverty. Work is a gift from God that I should not take for granted and that I should use wisely.
