The Diligent Man Eats

by | |
Proverbs 12:27:
27 Whoever is slothful will not roast his game, but the diligent man will get precious wealth.

Even Benjamin Franklin, America's first wise man, has his ideas based on Biblical truths. "Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy wealthy and wise." Proverbs says it too, again and again. The lazy do not produce, so the lazy do not consume. To us that sounds like they get less TV's and cars. But to the original readers of this text, not consuming meant starvation. Whether in careers, relationships, or in the search for truth, hard work is important.
