A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest-and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man. (Proverbs 6:10-11)
We live in a world where it is easy to skate by and do as little as possible... for a while. So much of life is computer-driven, that we can sit behind a computer, look like we are doing something productive while we are actually accomplishing nothing.
Just getting by is a big temptation for a lot of people. However, it will cost us more in the long run than we really want to pay. As God's people, we need to be productive and diligent. In the New Testament, Paul tells us to do our work as unto the Lord, realizing that ultimately it is Him we are serving.
