Love not sleep

Love not sleep

Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread (Proverbs 20:13).

Sleep means wasting our precious time in idle gossip or entertainment. You have to sleep well to take rest. But you should not love to sleep more than necessary. You need to keep working with your hands to earn your livelihood. It is also applicable to all ministers of God. Celebrity preachers do not work with hands but employ their subordinate staff to do their jobs when they are in a position to work with their hands. I testify to a dear servant of God who was my spiritual mentor in 70s. He is no more now. During gospel outreach meetings, he used to put chairs in the meetings. When people looked for the preacher, he would emerge from the place of the audience. If you work with your hands, you will be satisfied with your bread. God blesses your bread and keeps you healthy.
