CHAPTER TEN

Do you have the ability to work and make money? Verse 5 says a youth harvests in the summer but one who sleeps during the harvest is a disgrace. Each day has 24 hours. Are you being productive or wasting your time away. Remember, you can't get time back. Refuse to be a lazy person sleeping your productive hours away. There will come a day when you won't be able to be as productive. Don't expect others to pick up your slack and pay your way when you didn't do your part. Step up to the plate. Git'er Done!

Overall, Chapter 10 addressed the blessing attached to the Godly. Here is a list:

The Godly are a life giving fountain
The Godly are able to use financial earnings or gain to enhance their lives
The words of the Godly are use to encourage others
The hopes of the Godly will be granted
Those that are Godly leave happy memories for those around them
The Godly have a lasting foundation

The opposite is true for those who don't live a Godly life. How do you want to be remembered?

1)I wish to be remembered as a Godly person
2)I was just thinking about the whole being lazy thing. You know how sometimes you really want to do something and you go "hey I'm gonna go do this ... when I finish this."? I do that with rock-climbing. I really want to go out && clean off the climbing wall && go climbing, but for some reason I struggle with actually doing it. And I find that happens to people a LOT. And sometimes it's more important things, like your friend is depressed && you want to go hang out with them && help them be not so depressed even for a little while (it helps, I know) but for some reason you struggle with actually doing it.

And now I don't remember where I was going with this or how I was planning on getting there, so I'll just leave you with this thought segment. =]
