Work Hard!

Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business
and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily
life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be
dependent on anybody.


1 Thessalonians 4:11,12 NIV

I passed by the field of the sluggard

And by the vineyard of the man lacking sense,


And behold, it was completely overgrown with thistles;

Its surface was covered with nettles,


And its stone wall was broken down.

When I saw, I reflected upon it;

I looked, and received instruction.


"A little sleep, a little slumber,

A little folding of the hands to rest,"

Then your poverty will come as a robber

And your want like an armed man.


Proverbs 24:30-24 NASB
