Proverbs 24:33-34 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.
The word of God is the wisdom of God. And when you embrace God’s word instead of your prejudiced mind, you will be set on high. Our opening scripture is very clear: if you are lazy, poverty will be your friend. Poverty and slothfulness goes together. I have never seen a lazy rich man. All rich men are all diligent in their business.
Laziness has no place in the world of riches. Proverbs 24:30-31 says, “I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding; And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.” The lot of the sluggard is thorns. Thorns according to scripture is a picture of the curse. All lazy men are under the curse of poverty. And the only cure to it is not prayer but diligent labour.
