Proverbs 20:13

Proverbs 20:13

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

Excessive sleep is a form of laziness that leads to poverty. This is not a condemnation of rest but of choosing comfort over responsibility. The active, awakened person will be satisfied — their needs met — because they applied themselves.

Memory phrase: Wake up and get to work.

Talk about it: What good things could you miss if you stayed in bed too long?

Prayer: God, help me not be lazy. Help me rise and work well.
