What the Bible says Wednesday


What the Bible says about...
sleeping and rising

"How long will you lie there, you sluggard?
When will you get up from your sleep?
A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest -
and poverty will come on you like a bandit
and scarcity like an armed man."
Proverbs 6:9-11

"Lazy hands make a man poor,
put diligent hands bring wealth."
Proverbs 10:4

"He who gathers crops in summer is a wise son,
but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son."
Proverbs 10:5

"Do not love sleep or you will grow poor;
stay awake and you will have food to spare."
Proverbs 20:13

"A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest -
and poverty will come on you like a bandit
and scarcity like an armed man."
Proverbs 24:33, 34

"As a door turns on its hinges,
so a sluggard turns on his bed."
Proverbs 26:14

"This is the day that the Lord has made,
let us rejoice and be glad in it."
Psalm 118:24

Some verses to inspire me to rise earlier. :-)
