Proverbs 18:9

Proverbs 18:9

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

Laziness and destruction are linked as brothers — family. The one who does sloppy, half-hearted work ends up in the same place as the person who openly wastes and destroys. Both squander what they have been given. Diligence is not optional for the wise — it is a form of faithfulness to God.

Memory phrase: Lazy work wastes gifts.

Talk about it: How is being lazy the same as wasting something good?

Prayer: God, help me work hard and not be lazy.
