Verse of the Day: The Wise Work Hard

11 He who tills his land will be satisfied with bread,

But he who follows frivolity is devoid of understanding.

Proverbs 12:11 (NKJV)

11 A hard worker has plenty of food,

but a person who chases fantasies has no sense.

Proverbs 12:11 (NLT)

Proverbs is one of my favorite books in the Bible. It is so full of wisdom and knowledge! This verse is not an absolute. There will be some exceptions. Sometimes, bad things happen to good people. But if you follow the advice laid out in the Bible, you can be rest assured that God will provide for your needs. As long as you do your part, God will do His.

From the Nelson Study Bible:

tills his land: Many proverbs contrast hard work with laziness. Wise people work hard while fools waste their time.
