Work well Sluggard # 3 path forward
October 8, 2020
I’m Miriam Neff with STARTING OVER FINANCIALLY, and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, and we’re here to talk about money.
M Proverbs is full of advice about being a successful worker. The sluggard is described as a lazy bones, not the kind of worker we want to be. Proverbs 15:19 ‘The way of the sluggard is blocked with thorns, but the path of the upright is a highway.’
V Thorns are NOT a real road block. They are an excuse to not go forward. Most jobs have thorns: monotonous tasks, coworkers you’d rather not work with, technical glitches.
The ‘upright’ worker sees a highway to be traveled, pushing aside the thorns, getting over, around, and through. Problems to be solved, not obstacles.
M Good workers see the path not the block.
