The Bread of Idleness
Prov.31:27
Idleness is simply doing nothing. If a person is idle he is inactive or doing nothing. So what is the bread of idleness? Probably the things you consume or take part in that promote idleness. You probably have heard the phrase “Idle hands are the devil’s workshop”. All though not a Biblical phrase, it does reveal some truth concerning the danger of idleness. If children are not supervised with specific activities to do, no doubt trouble is on the way.
Laziness is the bread of idleness
Prosperity is the bread of idleness
In the effort to seek prosperity we are very busy at jobs, education, house work, child rearing, etc. the problem is that we can get too busy to notice that we are idle at a very important task. It is very easy to wake up one day and realize that you children are not children anymore, or that the love of your life is now dying of cancer. You cannot go back now and put the time in that you may have wished to. It’s too late. You were so busy that you were idle at something that really was very important.
