Proverbs 6, Dangerous Promise, The Folly of Indolance



55:070920


2 .. The Folly of Indolence


Before we start lets look at the meaning of the word ‘Indolence’.. 
.. The word came from the word ‘Indolens’ meaning: to not 
feel pain – Diss like work –Idle – Lazy. ‘Dolere’ to grieve – causing distress .

Now with an understanding of the meaning, now the scripture has meaning.

Job 12 v7/12 .. “But now ask the beasts, and they will teach you;And the birds of the air, and they will tell you; Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you; And the fish of the sea will explain to you. Who among all these does not know That the hand of the Lord has done this, In whose hand is the life of every living thing, And the breath of all mankind? Does not tear test words And the mouth taste its food? Wisdom is with aged men,And with length of days, understanding.

Gods message is so clear, it’s simple maths – 0x0=0 – that even juniors can work this out. You can slumber all you want, but come the hard times your store will be empty, thus why in v6 “.. Go to the Ant, you sluggard..” O boy were they told off in the strongest manner possible. The sluggard is being told to see how each of the animals works hard to make sure long life possible. There’s old saying …


“ Each society is only as strong as it’s weakest link”
