Anything worth having is worth working for. That is a statement my Pops used to make and is something that resonates with me until this day. If you want something, you have to work for it.
Contrary to a very popular opinion in this day and time, there are no free rides. Whatever someone else gets is coming from someone's giving. Again, don't get me wrong, there are those who can't help themselves, they are unable in one form or another, and we should all be willing to do whatever is necessary to help them. I am talking about those who can do something but just refuse to and expect someone else to help them. Well, if you want something, you have to work for it.
Today's word is Proverbs 20:4, NLT, which reads, "Those too lazy to plow in the right season will have no food at the harvest."
If you're too lazy to do the work, you will end up with no food. It sounds pretty simple. To others, I am sure it sounds pretty harsh. But, the fact is that every physically and mentally able adult is expected to go out and productively contribute to society and, in return, receive payment for those efforts. You'll appreciate it more if you have to work for it.
Let's take care of those that cannot take care of themselves; this is our GOD-called duty. Let all of us who are physically and mentally able to work and provide go out there and work and provide. Because, if you want something, you gotta work for it.
Be Blessed,
