Take Initiative
Proverbs 6:6–11; 13:4:
John Criswell (8:30, 9:45) & Susan Elkow (11:15, 5:15) ~ July 13, 2008


Proverbs 6:6-11

Take a lesson from the ants, you lazybones. Learn from their ways and become wise! Though they have no prince or governor or ruler to make them work, they labor hard all summer, gathering food for the winter. But you, lazybones, how long will you sleep? When will you wake up? A little extra sleep, a little more slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest -- then poverty will pounce on you like a bandit; scarcity will attack you like an armed robber. [NLT]

Proverbs 13:4

The sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied. [NIV]
