A Lesson From the Ants



The other day I looked in the yard there were so many ant holes, so many ants!
Today I happened to stumble across this chapter about "laziness":

..A person who is too lazy to work may steal to get what he wants. (Eph 4:28; Prov 13:11; 12:24)
..Laziness causes excessive sleepiness. (Prov 6:9-11; 19:15; 10:5)
..A lazy person uses other people's money to get what he wants. (Rom 12:9-12)
..Parents, don't allow your children to develp a lazy trait. The responsibility is on your shoulders. (Prov 22:6)
..A lazy person is conceited. (Prov 26:16)
..A slothful person is too lazy to move himself. (Prov 26:14)
..Lazy people are careless and unpredictable. (Prov 6:6-9)
..Lazy people irritate others. (Prov 10:26)
..Lazy people fold their hands instead of working. (Prov 6:10;24:33; 26:15)
..Lazy people won't cook for themselves. (Prov 12:27)
..Lazy people are "wishful thinkers." (Prov 13:4)
..A lazy person's life is full of troubles. (Prov 15:19)
..Lazy people waste things. (Prov 18:9)
..Lazy people refuse to work. (Prov 20:4)
..Lazy people use senseless excuses for their laziness. (Prov 22:13)
..Lazy people don't want to be taught anything. (Prov 24:30)
..Lazy people sit idly by and watch their property ruin. (Prov 24:31)
..A lazy person cannot be trusted. (Lk 19:11)
..Lazy people are usually too lazy to get saved. (Heb 6:11-12)
..Lazy people lack the ability to carry on in the business world. (Rom 12:11)
..Lazy people can learn a lesson if they will watch how busy ants are. (Prov 6:6-8)

After reading the last line...there is much to learn if I must work hard to be able to go home.
