Living the Proverbs
May 16, 2006
A ministry in our church called Set Free introduced me to the practice of reading a chapter in Proverbs every day, corresponding to the day of the month. For instance, today's reading was from Proverbs 16.
Sometimes one will ring especially true for that day.
Today, I read:
"The laborer's appetite works for him; his hunger drives him on." (NIV, Proverb. 16:26)
Call it need, drive, self-interest, desire, or hunger, without it, lethargy rules inertia till no motivation remains. Unfulfilled dreams move us to the next goal. We need them.
Stay hungry.
