A Little Folding Of The Hands To Rest 6:9-11

A Little Folding Of The Hands To Rest
Proverbs 6:9-11

9
How long will you lie there, you sluggard?
When will you get up from your sleep?
10
A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest,
11
and poverty will come on you like a thief
and scarcity like an armed man.

PCdc Commentary

A Little Folding Of The Hands To Rest;
Solomon really knows how to turn a phrase.

Hey, Sluggard!
Get to work or live in the poverty you deserve.

Got Wisdom?

Walking By Faith
Proverbs 3:5-6

5
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.

PCdc Commentary

The culture has perverted Faith to mean Blind Faith.
But in the Scriptures, it means Informed Trust.
Trust is built from both learning and experience.
The Scriptures assure us that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob can be trusted.
Our experiences reinforce our faith.

The Lord is our shield.
He guards our course.
Our success is insured.
