Proverbs 21:25

Proverbs 21:25

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

The sluggard's problem is not lack of desire — they desire! But their hands refuse to work for what they want. This gap between desire and effort is the source of their destruction. Wanting good things is not enough; you must be willing to work.

Memory phrase: Work for what you want.

Talk about it: What is the difference between wanting something and working to get it?

Prayer: God, give me willing hands to work.
