Thought For Today - November 24
Love Not Sleep!
By Robert A. Searles

It is not always the will and intention of God for a person to be in poverty and be destitute. Sometimes, but not always, poverty and lack of necessities is the result of our own laziness.

"The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing." Proverbs 20: 4.

Sometimes God places opportunities before us of which we do not take advantage . We are prone to making all kinds of excuses for not doing that which we know we ought to do, whether it be working for a living, or working for God to win souls for him. It is sin to try to find excuses for laziness. Sometimes some of us are too lazy to read and study God's word, and sometimes we are too lazy to communicate with God through prayer and meditation , for this takes effort on our part.
The end result of our laziness is lack and want. When God gathers his wheat and separates the tares, ( God's harvest), he who has been lazy will be ashamed and beg in the time of harvest.

"Love not sleep lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread." Proverbs 20:13.

Food is necessary, and sleep is necessary, but we must not over indulge in either.
