Proverbs 13:4
Laziness is defined as resistance to work or exertion. Proverbs 10:4 says lazy hands make for poverty. Hands that refuse or resist all manner of work, effort or exertion cannot have abundance.
Isn’t it interesting that prosperity and abundance are the results of work and effort?
The lazy man’s appetite is never satisfied, never filled, never realized because he resists every effort he needs to spend to see them realized. He won’t get up to work for what he desires. He won’t pay the price. And as long as you refuse to put in the effort required to make your desires a reality, you will remain in poverty, obscurity, and underachievement.
But the desires of the diligent are FULLY satisfied. Every single one of them. Diligence is marked by persevering, painstaking and patient effort! Painstaking! Refusing to give up, however tough till you hit the goal. While carefully paying attention to detail!
This can all be rephrased. . if you want something, do the work! That’s what God is saying. Do the work! You want a terrific relationship with God, a great marriage, a better career, whatever it is. . do the work!!!
Remember the diligent get their desires fully satisfied.
Selah.
