Practical Keys To Creating Wealth
lazy one? When will you arise from your sleep [and learn self-
discipline]? 10 “Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding
of the hands to lie down and rest”— 11 So your poverty will come
like an approaching prowler who walks [slowly, but surely] And
your need [will come] like an armed man [making you helpless].
Proverbs 6:6-11 [AMP]
The analogy of the “AnT” is a point of reference as far as diligence
is concerned. The smallest of the insects yet profound and practical
lesson can be drawn from them. The scripture elaborates on their
systemic organization, diligence and prudence. We should draw
deep lessons from the diligence of the ants.
A colony of ants for instance is not only a well-organized unit with
separate and distinct coordinated groups with various assigned
tasks; they are also constant in the said duty; they are not lazy but
diligent.
On the flip-slide there are many people that have a higher capacity
than the ant to do better, however they always fail to properly
organize themselves and be diligent with their work.
The way to break the curse of poverty and live in the supernatural
abundance is finding the true essence of diligence.
