Work well Sluggard # 4 providing for yourself and family
July 5, 2019
I’m Miriam Neff with STARTING OVER FINANCIALLY, and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, lets talk about money.
M Families are advised to provide for their own. That means families, couples, and adult children. Scripture does not advise being forever provided for by others.
V Short periods of adversity, help is needed for sure. But not a long term plan. Proverbs 19:24 ‘A sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he will not even bring it back to his mouth!’ The lazy person wants food, but does nothing to feed himself, or herself. Proverbs 26: 15 repeats this. The person who refuses to work, should not be fed.
M God created us to work, be productive. That satisfies our soul and provides for ourself and others. Wisdom for sure.
