Lazy people do not progress

LAZY PEOPLE DO NOT PROGRESS

 If you love sleep, you will end in poverty.
Keep your eyes open, and there will be plenty to eat! (Proverbs 20:13 NLT)

I tend to be allergic to lazy people. I am a person that likes to reach goals and feel uncomfortable with people who do not like to work.
Sleep is definitely an important part of our lives. God designed that we live in cycles of sleep and then work, but there are people who love to sleep and ignore the fact that it is only one part of the cycle, forgetting to work. The Bible tells us that such people do not prosper, they will always be poor and will never learn English, go to school, start a business, graduate from college, raise up a powerful ministry, have an average family that never grows, etc.

Those who idolize sleep and sleep in excess constantly miss out on good opportunities.

Those too lazy to plow in the right season
will have no food at the harvest. (Proverbs 20:4 NLT)

 

If you love sleep, you will end in poverty.
Keep your eyes open, and there will be plenty to eat! (Proverbs 20:13 NLT)

Think about it:

Are you one of those who keeps his eyes open or loves to sleep?
Have you lost opportunities because you’ve been sleeping too much?
What are your goals this year?
