Embracing Work and Embracing Restraint

Proverbs 6


1 - 5: Do not co-sign or personally guarantee any guide of loan. When the loan goes bad you will be on the hook. If you have signed a bad contract, do all in your power to get out of it.

6 - 8: Be a self-directed worker. Ants have a sense of urgency about their work and go about it without having to be reminded of their job.

9 - 11: Small actions have lasting consequences. Just a "little" sleep, a "little" slumber, a "little" folding of the hands and disaster will overtake us with alarming speed.

16 - 24: The instruction that we receive from our spiritual parents must be a living document that we carry about us and reference constantly. When we do so we will avoid the mistakes they made in their youth and the numerous snares of the flesh.

25 - 29: The adulteress will wear or say whatever she has to consume you like a loaf of bread, a common commodity to be bought and sold. And don't think you can play with the lust of the flesh and not get burned. Listen to your elders and do not play with fire.
