Bible Commentary

Proverbs 24:34

The consequence of the lazy person's 'little by little' delays is devastating: poverty arrives unstoppably — like a traveller who keeps coming no matter what, or an armed soldier who cannot be resisted. Laziness is not a small thing; it produces real and serious ruin.

Memory phrase: Laziness leads to real ruin.

Talk about it: What happens at the end of the road for the person who keeps being lazy?

Prayer: God, protect me from laziness. Help me work faithfully every day.
