Read Proverbs 20:13  This is another verse that talks about lazy people.  Do you remember the other word that Solomon used in Proverbs for a lazy person?  That's right: a sluggard.  Our verse says that if you love sleep, you will come to poverty.  But the second part of the verse says that if we open our eyes, we will be satisfied with bread.  Here is the problem:  If you are lazy, you won't work and you won't have anything.  If you are lazy, you will never save the money for a new baseball glove.  If you are lazy, you will never save enough money for a new bicycle.  But, if you work hard and save the money that you earn, you will be able to buy a new baseball glove or a new bicycle.  Here it is: you can sleep and be lazy, but you will have nothing.  Or you can be diligent and work and save, and you will have many things.  But our verse says that you can't be lazy and have things.  If you want things, you have to work for them.  It's as simple as that.  God does not want lazy people.  He wants people to work and to provide for their families.  Learn to work while you are a kid.  Remember, lazy kids grow up to be lazy adults.  Think about that!
