Tues.'s Devo - Get Off the Couch!

Read Pro. 20:4
Lazy people will always find a reason not to do what they are suppose to do. They won't carry their weight and will expect others to help them when they don't want to help themselves. The problem is they can't even see that they are the problem. They have been taught this concept from childhood. One of the worse thing that happened to this nation was welfare. It was initiated by Pres. Roosevelt to help us get out of the Great Depression. It was only suppose to be in place for a few years to help people get back on their feet. But people became dependent on it and it would have been too much of a political disaster to take it away. So now, we have people that can't make over minimum wage or they will lose their welfare. Something is wrong. The answer lies in the Bible. The Bible says that if you want to eat you need to work. Even people with disabilities have talents they can be helped to use. Instead of paying people to manage welfare handouts, we need people managing jobs for people. I know there are programs out there for this and I am glad. We need more. Bottom line: if we can get the Bible principles in the hearts of people they won't be impoverished and needy; they will be part of a heavenly family that needs their gift and a place to be used.
Lord, thank you for your provision and the joy of working. May we do everything to your glory.
