Todays Chapter Reading: Proverbs 6
\nFocus Text: Proverbs 6:9-12; 1 Timothy 5:7-8 NIV
\nHow 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\u2014 and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man.
\nGive 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.
\nDevotional Thought: SLOTHFULNESS
\nIt 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.
