Proverbs 13:4-6

Proverbs 13;4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
5 A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.
6 Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
 
Hers Again we see different classes of people.
We have the sluggard; or lazy person; the loathsome person, and just the plain ole sinner. The characteristics of these three kind of fit together in that the lazy person will do all he can to keep from working even to the point of lying and cheating which is characteristic of the loathsome person. They bring shame upon themselves for what they do just like the lazy person. Their actions are sinful making them a sinner. If they continue in their actions they will just get deeper into sin.
We also have the diligent, the righteous, and the upright. The characteristics of these three should be what everyone strives to be like .If we work at our jobs as if we are doing it for God we will prosper. We should always be truthful in all things we do even if sometimes it hurts. Then in all things we should do our best to light the Jesus shine in our righteousness and He will uphold us.
Please attend church somewhere today where God can be praised and you can gain more wisdom to be able to face the world we live in today.
