"The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be made rich." Proverbs 13:4

The lazy man is a slothful man, he is a sluggard. The lazy man wants to achieve and move forward, but refuses to put forth any effort. The Apostle Paul said he worked harder than all those around him, but he was quick to give the credit to God. Paul said it was the grace of God that enabled him to work. It is still the grace of God that empowers the diligent man to prosper in all he does. The diligent man labors with his eyes lifted up to Heaven, because he realizes this is here his strength and help come from. The diligent man relies on the power of the Holy Spirit in all he does. The diligent man will always succeed because he has faith, which means he acts on what the Lord moves him to do! The diligent man is a prosperous man storing up treasure and laboring for the world to come! Be diligent in all you do, in all the Lord brings before you!

"The plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty, But those of everyone who is hasty, surely to poverty." Proverbs 21:5
