Proverbs 20:12-13 God has given us the ability to discover how to live an abundant life!
The hearing ear and the seeing eye,
The Lord has made them both.
Do not love sleep, lest you come to poverty;
Open your eyes, and you will be satisfied with bread. -Proverbs 20:12-13
There are many voices in the world vying for our attention. God has given us the abilty to find the one voice that will feed our soul and enable us to live an abundant life. In order to posess this wonderful blessing, we have to expend some effort. Read your Bible and ask God to speak to you! He has promised that "If you learn from me, you will find rest for your soul" (Matthew 11:29). "Bread" (in verse 13) represents everything we need for sucess, wisdom, peace, joy and power. You cannot have the blessing if you are lazy (sleeping instead of seeking )!
