Don’t be idle

Reflection for the day

By Bunmi Adebayo

*To everyone who cares to listen, there is no dignity in being idle.*

*Proverbs 19:[15] “Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger”.*

*There is nothing to be proud about doing nothing. This is because doing nothing will only give birth to lack and poverty.*

*Ecclesiastes 10: [18] “By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through”.*

*Again, there is no glory whatsoever attached to doing nothing, because it is in doing something that we shall be blessed :*

*Psalms 90: [17] “And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it”.*

*He that is jobless, should look for something to do. It could be a little work, in a little corner. It could be a big assignment in a major part of the city. In the extreme, it could be getting busy by volunteering your free service.*

*Ecclesiastes 9: [10] “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest”.*

*God, the Creator of all, has no room for idleness. Where there are no jobs, create by learning something.*

*Always remember, nobody introduces manure to a land that has not been cleared and cultivated.*

*It takes the right labour at the right place to attract success.*
*You have heard, and there is truth in it :*

*No work, no profit.*
*No work, no success.*
*No work, no pay.*

*Remember that old saying of the sage :*
*”No food for the lazy man.”*

*2 Thessalonians 3:[10] “For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat”.*

*Is your argument that you are not lazy, but that there is no work?*

*Eat the humble pie, put your pride aside, and :*
*Create one.*
*Learn something.*

*Praying for God’s blessings without work is like “faith without works”. It is dead Faith.*

*My heart cries to you today is to rise up and do something legitimate! And you will see the blessings of God upon your life.*

*Remember, it is what you do, that you will receive blessings upon :*

*Isaiah 3: [10] “Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: _for they shall eat the fruit of their doings_.*”

*Always remember – _the fruit of their doings_.*

*And the question is “what are you doing?”*

Top of the day to you
