Lazy Hunters Don’t Eat

27 

Lazy people don’t even cook the game they catch,
     but the diligent make use of everything they find.

28 

The way of the godly leads to life;
     that path does not lead to death.

Verse 27

The lazy man wasted his food. A wise person would cook his food and enjoy it.

A lazy person wastes his life. He achieves nothing, because he refuses to work. A wise person achieves many things by his hard work.

Verse 28

Life is like a journey. On our journey, we should follow good people. We should copy their behaviour. And we should learn to do the right things. Especially, we should follow Jesus (John 8:12). Then God will give a place in heaven to us. God has prepared a home for us in heaven (John 14:2-3).

Proverbs often throws us for a loop with its surprising contrasts. For instance, it describes a lazy person as someone so lazy they won't even cook their own food. On the other hand, it says a diligent person is someone who takes good care of everything – their food, belongings, and family – ensuring all are highly valued.

By the way, by the time we wrap this up, you'll have a new fourteen-letter word in your vocabulary. If you need a refresher, check back to April 11 to remember what a paraprosdokian is.

Let's think about Verse 28. We all know that tough times hit everyone, whether they're Christians or not. The difference is in how Christians handle these challenges compared to non-Christians.

Christians don't lose hope during difficult times. Instead, they trust that God has a fulfilling life planned for them and keep pushing forward.

Let me ask you: Do you have a faith that helps you get through tough times? If not, where might you find such faith?
