Proverbs 13:4
4 The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing;
But the soul of the diligent shall be made rich.
-Proverbs 13:4
Let us not fail to realize that the decisions we make and the lifestyles we live impact more than just our flesh. The lazy man may desire something, but that desire, due to his laziness, amounts to nothing and gains nothing. This affect is the same in regard to his soul. If a man is lazy and is not willing to get, how will he pursue after anything that benefits his soul? The diligent is not so. The diligent are persistent in getting what means they need. So the same are they when it comes to getting things that benefit their soul. When they enter into eternity, they are found to be rich, for their lives have profited them greatly. I pray that we may have such diligence.
But the soul of the diligent shall be made rich.
