Avoiding Stupid Work

Waukee Community Church

Pastor Dave takes a break from his sabbatical to do what he loves most - share the Word of God! 1. Work Hard, Be Motivated He who works his land will have abundant food, but the one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty. (28:19) 2. Work Hard, Be Disciplined Love not sleep, lest you come to poverty; open your eyes, and you will have plenty of bread. (20:13) As a door turns on its hinges, so a sluggard turns on his bed. (26:14) The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth. (26:15) 3. Work Hard, Be Honest A greedy man brings trouble to his family, but he who hates bribes will live. (15:27) 4. Work Smart, Bless Those Who Love You He who brings trouble on his family will inherit only wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise. (11:29) 5. Work Smart, Keep Proper Priorities Do not wear yourself out to get rich; have the wisdom to show restraint. Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle. (23:4-5) 6. Work Smart, Plan Ahead A sluggard does not plow in season; so at harvest time he looks but finds nothing. (20:4) 7. Work Hard, Be Diligent As vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes, so is a sluggard to those who send him. (10:26)
