Ecclesiastes 4:5 The fool folds his hands and ruins himself
There is much to be done around us. If we busy ourselves too much and lose sight of the important things of life, like Martha (Luke 10:42), we miss out on the blessings of God. Worse yet, if we put the things of life ahead of His kingdom, we will not be given the essential things of life. All our toil will be done in vain.
But, this verse talks about the opposite lifestyle. It speaks of the fool who does nothing. Fools who do nothing end up leaching off of others. The Bible says, the one who is unwilling to work shall not eat (2 Thess. 3:10). Our society props up the poor whether or not the can work. This is not good. But even so, the fool who does nothing suffers for it.
Daughters, be diligent. Get your work done. Keep active in the things of the Lord. You will find that is not only provides the basics of life... it will bring satisfaction and contentment. The Holy Spirit will walk and work along side you, and true success will be yours for you were no fool. It pays to serve the Lord!
