ABOUT DILIGENCE VERSUS LAZINESS (2)
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. What does the Book of Proverbs say about Diligence versus Laziness?
a) 9 A lazy man is brother to the saboteur. (Proverbs 18:9)
b) 15 A lazy man sleeps soundly - and he goes hungry! (Proverbs 19:15)
c) 24 Some men are so lazy they won't even feed themselves! (Proverbs 19:24)
d) 4 If you won't plow in the cold, you won't eat at the harvest. (Proverbs 20:4)
e) 13 If you love sleep, you will end in poverty. Stay awake, work hard, and there will be plenty to eat! (Proverbs 20:13)
f) 5 Steady plodding brings prosperity; hasty speculation brings poverty. (Proverbs 21:5)
g) 25 -26 The lazy man longs for many things, but his hands refuse to work. He is greedy to get, while the godly love to give! (Proverbs 21:25-26)
h) 13 The lazy man is full of excuses. "I can't go to work!" he says. "If I go outside, I might meet a lion in the street and be killed!" (Proverbs 22:13)
i) 29 Do you know a hard-working man? He shall be successful and stand before kings! (Proverbs 22:29)
j) 19 -21 O my son, be wise and stay in God's paths; don't carouse with drunkards and gluttons, for they are on their way to poverty. And remember that too much sleep clothes a man with rags. (Proverbs 23:19-21)
k) 27 Develop your business first before building your house. (Proverbs 24:27)
l) 30 -31 I walked by the field of a certain lazy fellow and saw that it was overgrown with thorns; it was covered with weeds, and its walls were broken down. 32 -33 Then, as I looked, I learned this lesson: "A little extra sleep, A little more slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest" 34 means that poverty will break in upon you suddenly like a robber and violently like a bandit. (Proverbs 24:30-34)
m) 28 A man without self-control is as defenseless as a city with broken-down walls. (Proverbs 25:28)
n) 13 The lazy man won't go out and work. "There might be a lion outside!" he says. 14 He sticks to his bed like a door to its hinges! 15 He is too tired even to lift his food from his dish to his mouth! 16 Yet in his own opinion he is smarter than seven wise men. (Proverbs 26:13-16)
o) 23 -24 Riches can disappear fast. And the king's crown doesn't stay in his family forever - so watch your business interests closely. Know the state of your flocks and your herds; 25 -27 then there will be lambs' wool enough for clothing and goats' milk enough for food for all your household after the hay is harvested, and the new crop appears, and the mountain grasses are gathered in. (Proverbs 27:23-27)
p) 19 Hard work brings prosperity; playing around brings poverty. (Proverbs 28:19)
