Those last few moments of sleep are delicious, we savor them as we resist beginning another workday. But Proverbs warns against giving in to the temptation of laziness, of sleeping instead of working. But we should not rest when we should be working. The ant is used as an example because it uses its energy and resources economically. If laziness turns us from our responsibilities, poverty may soon keep us from the legitimate rest we should enjoy.
Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth.
Every day has 24 hours filled with opportunities to grow, serve, and be productive. Yet it is so easy to waste time, letting life slip from our grasp. Refuse to be a lazy person, sleeping or frittering away the hours meant for productive work. See time as God's gift and seize your opportunities to live diligently for him. You're in sin.
