Prov 3:5, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding.”

Proverbs Chapter 12 Contrasts between the righteous and wicked in thoughts, speech and actions.

Section 2, vs Contrasting the Use of the Tongue, Pt 9. Conclusion!

Prov 12:27

Prov 12:27 Another comparison between the lazy and diligent.

The sluggard may begin a task, but fails to complete it, Prov 19:24; 26:24. “Whether as non-finisher or non-starter, the indolent man throws away his chances.” (Kidner, Proverbs.)

Just as the lazy starve physically in the midst of abundant food, Prov 12:11; 13:4; 22:29…

… the incorrigible starve spiritually in the midst of abundant teaching of Bible Doctrine, Prov 10:21.

They have disregard and indifference for God’s logistical grace blessings letting them slip through their fingers and receiving no benefit from God’s provisions.

The Contrast!

The Contrast! By hard work the diligent believer takes advantage of logistical grace blessings from God.

Grace Offering 2 Cor 9:6-8, “He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 7 Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed.”
