Having been in Nursing Administration most of my life, I’ve interviewed and hired a lot of staff. And the one thing I always looked for was a good work ethic. A first-rate candidate needed to be hardworking, thorough, and patient…while someone who seemed inconstant, lax, and careless would be looked over for the position. Proverbs 12:24 tells us that, “Diligent hands will rule but laziness ends in slave labor.” Developing a good work ethic will get you far, not only in your career, but your life.

Proverbs 10:4 ” Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth.”
A colorful word that the writers of Proverbs use for a lazy person is sluggard. Idle hands and a poor work ethic will never lead to anything good in life…while hardworking, untiring hands are strong, powerful and lead to prosperity.
