Read It All

Psalms 127:2 (KJV) It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows:  for so he giveth his beloved sleep.

(Proverbs 3 also read)

It is really easy to read a verse like this and use it as an excuse for doing what you wanted to do in the first place.  You need to read the context.  It’s really isn’t a lesson in sloth, it is a lesson in obedience and trust.  We are expected to work hard.  We are to do these things with we can understanding that ultimately success is up to the Lord.

So?  Read the context.  Make sure you got the whole picture before you do something stupid.
