Different articles have been published about laziness and I must say I have enjoyed reading it all. This is a prompt by ma'am @JonicaBradley and this is is my entry too on it, remain blessed as you read in Jesus name.
The diligent boy
James came from a poor family, He lost his mother when he was young, His mother was a trader and his father was a farmer.After the death of his mother things became hard for the family, but James was a hardworking boy.
James and his father lived in a small town, he has two friends Peter and Steve told him that his family is poor and he could not afford a square meal he needs to work hard everytimeAnytime James sees anyone going to the market he will help them in carrying their loads and their goods both young and old and because of this his friends mock him as a fool.
On a faithful afternoon James went to Steve House to pay him a visit, Steve mom called him to wash the dirty plates in the kitchen, he refused and has Steve to wash it instead ,Steve mother called James and advised him that someday is good act and being hardworking will pays.
After some days in the evening Steve went to pay James a visit in his house after Steve has spent some minutes in James House, Steve told James to go and greet Peter man His logage Peter and Steve refused to help the man because they knew the man will not appreciate them with anything to help the man, but the man didn't appreciate him with anything
When James got home he discovered that his father was on the sick bed he rushed down to the doctor when the doctor gave him a huge amount of money.James now decided to go to the rich man house on his way to the man house James was seriously crying when the people that James had been doing good too saw him weeping they gave him some amount of money and the rich man gave him some amount of money to start a new life amd cleared because all the hospital bill because of the industrious act of his son.
Laziness has nothing more than poverty. Instead for me to spend time thinking evil about people and later go to church and pretend to be the best worshiper, I will rather follow the foot steps of father Abraham who made it an effort to contribute to human life through agriculture. I will appreciate my little assignment and always think of making it better for man and God and that will give me inner peace and contentment.
The lazy
Proverbs 14:23-24 All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty. The wealth of the wise is their crown, but the folly of fools yields folly.
Philippians 2:14 Do everything without grumbling
Ecclesiastes 9:10
Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.
Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth.
Proverbs 12:24
24 Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in forced labor.
Proverbs 24:30-34
30 I went past the field of a sluggard, past the vineyard of someone who has no sense; 31 thorns had come up everywhere, the ground was covered with weeds, and the stone wall was in ruins. 32 I applied my heart to what I observed and learned a lesson from what I saw: 33 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest— 34 and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man.
The hard working
Romans 12:11-12 Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically. Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying.
Proverbs 14:23-24 All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty. The wealth of the wise is their crown, but the folly of fools yields folly.
Philippians 2:14 Do everything without grumbling.
Laziness is not profitable. hardworking is a great gain
