BE DILIGENT & DEPART FROM LAZINESS!

Saints of God Most High, hear God’s word for you today:

The diligent will rule while the lazy will be put to forced labour” (Proverbs 12:24).

If you want to reign in life, don’t sit on your hands. Instead, work hard at doing what’s right, for the slacker will end up working to make someone else succeed.

Through indolence, the rafters of state affairs decay, and the roof sinks in, and through idleness of the hands, the house leaks.

When you’re feeling lazy, go and learn lessons from this tale of the tiny ant. Yes, all you lazybones, come learn from the example of the ant and enter into wisdom.

The ants have no chief, no boss, no manager and no one has to tell them what to do. You’ll see them working and toiling all summer long, stockpiling their food in preparation for winter.

So wake up, sleepyhead. How long will you lie there? When will you wake up and get out of bed? If you keep nodding off and thinking, “I’ll do it later,” or say to yourself, “I’ll just sit back awhile and take it easy,” just watch how the future unfolds!

By making excuses you’ll learn what it means to go without. Poverty will pounce on you like a bandit and move in as your roommate for life.

Do not be deceived, deluded and misled; God will not allow Himself to be sneered at, scorned, disdained, or mocked by mere pretensions or professions, or by His precepts being set aside.

He inevitably deludes himself or herself who attempts to delude God. For whatever a man sows, that and that only is what he will reap.

REMEMBER, LAZINESS AND IDLENESS ARE COUSINS TO POVERTY.

Shalom and good morning.

Dr. Daniel O. C.
