Verse 15 says, “Laziness brings on deep sleep, and the shiftless man goes hungry.” What a profound word of wisdom. If there is something you need to accomplish (school project, work, relationship issues, spiritual revival, physical fitness, etc.) and you keep putting it off, you will eventually become numb to it in a deep sleep. Hours, days, weeks, months, years will pass and nothing will be done.
Then comes the “due date” and you are left wanting (hungry); nothing was accomplished. An “F” on the project, fired from work, ruined relationship, spiritual bankruptcy, serious physical problems. Any or all of these bad situations could have been avoided with a little planning and diligent work. You don’t move a mountain in one push (unless God does it), you have to move it one shovel full at a time; and the earlier you get started, the sooner it will be done, whatever your goal may be. So, don’t be lazy and put it off, get started on it today, before it’s too late.
