BE ACTIVE FROM DAY ONE
It is now time for us to buckle up as we begin a new year. There is a portion of the Bible which encourages man to be hard working, It is the book of proverbs from chapter 6 and from verse 4 to verse 11.
" Give no sleep to your eyes, nor slumber to your eyelids.
Deliver yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter , and like a bird from the hand of the fowler.
Go to the ant, you sluggard ! Consider her ways and be wise.
Which, having no captain, overseer or ruler,
Provides her supplies in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest.
How long will you slumber, O sluggard ? When will you rise from your sleep ?
A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep--
So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler, and your need like an armed man.
