'Lazy people are soon poor; hard workers get rich.' Proverbs 10:4
Given the choice, I think the most of us would sit at home watching TV or playing computer games, never having to cook, clean or tidy up after ourselves. But God says 'Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth.' Now God's not necessarily saying that if you're skint you're suffering from lazy-itis, but He is saying, 'don't become a couch potato - do stuff - make an effort.' God knows it's important for us to be active because He made us that way.
When God first made people, 'The LORD God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over it' (Gen. 2:15). Get involved and your life will become rich in more ways than one. Work hard and you'll feel good about yourself; you'll find purpose and fulfilment; you'll respect yourself and gain the respect of others; you'll unleash your potential as you accomplish new things.
Notice how God never chooses couch potatoes and not once did Jesus call on lazy people, or those sitting around waiting for their 'big break'. In Luke 5, Jesus says, 'Follow me and be my disciple' to Simon Peter, James and John whilst they were fishing, and Matthew while he was collecting taxes. So do all you can to sack off being a 'Lazy Annie' or 'Sloth-like Harry'. Be an active Diva and see how rich and full your life becomes.
