If we respect God, then God will help us. When troubles come, he will protect us. See Psalm 46:1. This proverb tells us that having respect and awe for God is the start of wisdom that leads to a fulfilling life. When we truly fear God, we won't be plagued by anxiety or worry. If you’re feeling unsettled, focus on the qualities of God to find peace.Verse 24Solomon uses humor here. This is a very lazy man. He is too lazy, even to eat. This means the same as verse 15. A lazy man refuses to work, so he will earn nothing. Because he earns nothing, he will be hungry. Solomon’s story in verse 24 explains this as a joke or as an exaggeration to make a point. It's unlikely that anyone is so lazy that they can’t even feed themselves. God created us to work, and lazy people who can’t even provide for themselves will struggle.Let me ask you: Do you experience the peace and contentment that comes from following God's laws and commandments?If you want daily truth in a raw, simple format… come follow us on TikTok at Wisdom for the Day — RAW.Real truth.
