"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." Proverbs 6:10-11
Proverbs 6 warns us about what can happen when we become complacent and lazy. No, we should not obsess about earthly treasures (Matthew 6:19-21), but we should prepare to the best of our abilities. Faith without works is dead (James 2:14-26), so if we need a job, yes, prayer works, but so does updating a resume. No matter what season we find ourselves in, we cannot become so comfortable that we don't do our part. Yes, God is faithful, but He also gave us gifts and talents to USE!
According to a Jewish proverb, "your day begins the night before."
