Proverbs

Proverbs 6: 10-11
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.
On first look this seems to be an odd couple of verses. I don’t think we need to take from it that rest is bad. Rather that we should be vigilant, be aware. If we close our eyes to what is going on then before we know it we can find ourselves in tough times.
