Solomon provides a sharp contrast between the sluggard and the diligent. Do we not see the same disparity among people today? There are many who continually complain about their station in life yet they do nothing to help themselves. Yet, there are others who diligently work two, and sometimes three, jobs just to make ends meet without a peep. While the diligent may not be rich, they are fed and clothed.
Shouldn't we be the same in our Christian life? Continual complaints of not being blessed does not improve our spiritual well being. But the ones who struggle through life's challenges are blessed by God. They continue to seek ways to serve the Lord, regardless of their financial abilities and natural talents. We should do the same!
Join me in renewing my commitment to quit complaining and to start looking for ways that God wants me to serve Him today.
