When a person’s attitude and behavior is that of laziness…it can only produce poverty. Where as, diligence and industry are associated with prosperity. A great example of this is found in Proverbs 6:10, “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.” Throughout Scriptures we see it never ending well for a lazy person if he allows himself to become weak, idle, and apathetic…in essence, bringing poverty and need onto himself.
