The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.

 

Proverbs 20:4 KJV

Whatever a man sows, is what that man will reap. It takes preparation and work to prepare a seed bed. You have to work at it. This passage tells us that the lazy person will not plow because of the cold. We can always come up with excuses, but we must not do so. The scripture is clear, He that doesn’t work towards the harvest will have nothing come harvest time. This applies to our physical life and our spiritual life. We must work here on earth to store up treasure in heaven. Though we know that we are not saved by our works, our works are evidence of a true conversion. Don’t make excuses. Plow and prepare a seed bed in preparation for the harvest. If we don’t work, they’ll be nothing to eat.
