I Timothy 5:8: "If  a person refuses to provide for his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an infidel."

Ecclesiastes 4:5: "A fool folds his hands behind his head and ruins "himself."

Proverbs 6:6 to look at the ant.  Learn from the ant, that industrious little creature that is so purposeful with all its activity.

Colossians 3:23:

"Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as unto the Lord."

2. Are you working heartily ?
