Teachable Teacher

Today makes day number four for those of us who have fallen back an hour. You may notice the sun creeping through the shades a bit earlier in the morning. I’m sure you’ve noticed how early it gets dark now. If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably noticed that your daily internal clock is still in its old routine.

Proverbs 6:6-10 tells us to “Look at the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man.” So here are some lessons to learn from this scripture:

• You shouldn’t need someone to motivate you to get out of bed each day.
• Get up and take care of the work that needs to be done, and plan for the future!
• It’s that thought of “I’ll just sleep another few minutes” that will lead to poverty

So when that alarm clock goes off in the morning, instead of hitting it into the floor, remember…It’s helping you be obediant to Proverbs 6!
