Proverbs 20:4 Sluggards do not plough in season; so at harvest time they look but find nothing.

I'm afraid I am guilty of putting things off when I don't want to be bothered with the hard work which goes with the task I'm avoiding!

This reminder is to all of us to do the work when it has to be done and not leaving things until the next day, week or whenever.

Jesus did not put things off unless He knew they needed to be delayed; follow Christ's example and get things done here and now!

Proverbs 18:15 The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge, for the ears of the wise seek it out.

Wisdom comes to those who seek it diligently; as we seek out knowledge and meditate on it, we grow in wisdom.

God has given us a mind which is far more discerning than any other creature – this is why He gave us dominion over everything.

How we treat everything is a direct measure of the wisdom, or lack of wisdom we are gaining.

Acts 5:14 Nevertheless, more and more men and women believed in the Lord and were added to their number.

When the disciple went forward as true servants of Christ, they stood by their faith and believed God would answer their prayers.

They did not wish to riches or wealth, but for people to get to know their special relationship they had with Christ.

God was pleased with them and stood by their prayers, healing the sick and blessing the poor.

Mark 6:49 but when they saw him walking on the lake, they thought he was a ghost. They cried out,

What will it take you to truly believe from the bottom of your heart God is looking out for you?

Sometimes we do lose track of how much God does for us and because of that our faith is not as firm and full as it should be.

The disciples needed a jolt and Christ gave it to them. Do you really need to have things happen in your life before you believe all you see and read about from your bibles?
