Bible has a lot of stuff for us to read, to learn...

I've been trying to read bible daily, one chapter of proverbs each day. Today was reading Proverbs 14 and this verse makes a strong impression on me... it's common sense if you really think about it... but how many of us realise how true this is?

14 : 23 All hard work brings a profit,
but mere talk leads only to poverty.

Laziness

Proverbs 24:33-34 (New International Version)

33 A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest-

34 and poverty will come on you like a bandit
and scarcity like an armed man.

I've always known these verses since I first believed in Christ in 1997. However, I've never kept it in heart. Never really paid much attention to it.

I was lazy then. As I am now. These verses still are very relevant then and now.

Pray that I will learn, and maybe change to be a better person. Not as lazy...

And this, my Christmas prayer.
