The Ant vs The Sluggard………she notes below for additional insight from Proverbs.
”Go to the ant, O sluggard, Observe her ways and be wise, Which, having no chief, Officer or ruler, Prepares her food in the summer And gathers her provision in the harvest. How long will you lie down, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep? “A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest”— Your poverty will come in like a vagabond And your need like an armed man.“
Proverbs 6:6-11 NASB1995
Debt………
I can do All ( not some), things through Christ ( not in my own strength), who strengthens me. Joesph and Mary, were just teenagers, yet they were able to overcome many thing through grace, in humility, obediently following Gods commands, in spite of their circumstances. Can you relate to this in your own life? The angel, sent by God, told Mary, “ With God, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE”!
Our culture stresses self made men an women, but the Apostle Paul, finds strength in the Lord, through Grace. A better ingredient for both men and women.
”Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me—to keep me from exalting myself! Concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave me. And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.“
2 Corinthians 12:7-10 NASB1995
We are ALL Created, EQUAL in his sight.

Lord, may we always be mindful of your words and give us wisdom, to choose the words that give LIFE, to those around us, in the power of your Spirit. Father, give us the humility, to ask forgiveness, when we fail to speak your words of life. Amen
Before the battle, while being tremendously outnumbered, the Israelites, bowed and worshipped before the Lord, and this is what the Spirit of God said….” You need not fight in this battle; station yourselves, stand and see the salvation of the Lord on your behalf, O Judah and Jerusalem.’ Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out to face them, for the Lord is with you.”“ 2 Chronicles 20:17 NASB1995 https://bible.com/bible/100/2ch.20.17.NASB1995
Go is in Control, not us, and he cares deeply for us in our times of loss and grieving. Even when we don’t see him, HE IS WORKING, even when we don’t feel him, HE IS WORKING, He NEVER STOPS WORKING, HE NEVER STOPS WORKING.
