I am very excited to share this with you all. My write-up got published on Femme Lounge, an online women's magazine that helps readers understand themselves and the people around them better. It provides alternative viewpoints on topics we love to debate and questions we are not sure should be asked.

Let's rub minds.

Profit in Labor

So, the last time, our discussion was about laziness, today’s message is the concluding part and I have put together 25 of my favorite Bible verses on the subject matter. I hope these verses bless you as much as they have been blessing me and helped transform me.

Proverbs 14: 23 “In all labor there is profit, But mere talk leads only to poverty”. (NASB)

Proverbs 22: 29 “If u do your job well, you will work for a ruler and never be a slave”. (CEV)

Proverbs 21: 5 “If you plan and work hard, you will have plenty”. (CEV)

Proverbs 12: 24 “Work hard and become a leader; be lazy and become a slave”. (NLT)

Don't be lazy

Laziness can vary in meaning for different people. What you consider laziness might not necessarily be same for me. However, I always say that it is only a lazy person that will let go of a means to labor profitably. Even the Bible addresses this issue extensively and we cannot run out of verses in the Bible where laziness is condemned. In fact, the book of Proverbs is my go to part of the Bible whenever I am discussing about laziness and the profits of labor.  

Quite a number of people ask me if I ever get tired, a friend of mine even calls me “the merry maid” because he feels I work endlessly. I must confess though, that I have not always been this way, some years back, I bet nobody would have called me hardworking although I wasn’t very lazy. But all that has changed now, I can proudly say of myself that I am a diligent individual who works with enthusiasm.
