Todays Chapter Reading: Proverbs 6

Focus Text: Proverbs 6:9-12; 1 Timothy 5:7-8   NIV

How long   will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your   sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest— and   poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man.

Give the people these instructions, so   that no one may be open to blame.  Anyone who does not provide for their   relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith   and is worse than an unbeliever.

Devotional Thought: SLOTHFULNESS

It is one thing to have not have any self control, it's another thing to not give any effort or concern to achieving goals or getting things done. But in Christ, we are called to be people of service, and to be idle without reason, is to dishonor the image and likeness of God we were created in.
