Proverbs 6:9

The lazy person keeps delaying. God's question is urgent: how long will you waste what you have been given?

Memory phrase: Wake up and get to work!

Talk about it: What is the difference between resting when you need to and being lazy?

Prayer: God, help me not be lazy. Help me wake up ready to use the day You have given me.
