Pro 10:4 He who deals with a slack hand becomes poor, but the hand of the diligent makes one rich.
Pro 14:23 In all labor there is profit, but idle chatter leads only to poverty.
The biblical work ethics encourages hard work, long hours, dedication, punctuality and willingness to defer gratification for the sake of long-term gain. It is no coincidence that nations, companies and individuals shaped by such an ethic have tended to prosper. That’s how God has ordered his creation .( Biblemesh/ December 14,2020)
There is no room for laziness if we have to enjoy what God has in store for us. If we have to prosper, we cannot ignore the process. Human beings were created to be Industrious servants. He who deals with a slack hand; not busy, moving sluggishly, becomes poor . But the hand of the diligent makes one rich. The sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the desires of the diligent are satisfied.
Idle chatter with no work leads to poverty. God has promised to bless the work of our hands. ” The Lord will open to you his good treasure, the heavens, to give the rains to your land in it’s season , to bless all the work of your hands. You shall lend to many nations, you shall not borrow ( Deu 28:12). God’s bounty, Leaves room for man’s responsibility.
