Are We Wise or Lazy Fools?

30 



These Words of Wisdom come from the Bible Book of Proverbs!

I once walked by the field
and the vineyard
    of a lazy fool.
31 
Thorns and weeds
    were everywhere,
    and the stone wall
    had fallen down.
32 
When I saw this,
    it taught me a lesson:
33 
Sleep a little. Doze a little.
    Fold your hands
    and twiddle your thumbs.
34 
Suddenly poverty hits you
    and everything is gone!


Proverbs 24:30-34 (CEV)

I never met a foolish man or women who recognized their own foolishness.  Foolish people usually think they are wise in what they do.  

The world is now consumed with the "orders" from their leaders to  "Sleep a little.  Doze a little.  Fold your hands and twiddle your thumbs."  This is their instruction while we wait for the Corona virus to go away!  

The virus spread around the entire world in a short time!  The US government has decided that printing and passing out paper that looks like real money will help stop the problem.  We are like a pilot who shuts down the engines on his airplane because the turbulence is bad and then finds it very difficult to restart them before the plane crashes!

The final words of Proverbs 24 are a stunning warning to the entire world today!  "SUDDENLY POVERTY HITS YOU AND EVERYTHING IS GONE!"

"Lord Jesus, may we hear Wisdom from You about how to live in this very difficult time!  May Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven even today.  Praise Your Holy Name now and forever.  Amen."
