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 24:33-34I was going through the retreat file and finding out what I miss from the messages when I stumbled upon this verse from Proverbs. It speaks of examining our own vineyard which is the very first step that we all have to do before we can even see how well can our vineyard spread. To me this speaks of a reminder not to slack off. Many times when we are busy and engulf by the amount of work that we have, we tend to slack off our spiritual development thinking that we can go back to it another day or we are already quite there. But take heed, a little sleep, a little slumber and poverty will come on like a bandit and it comes without us being aware and prepared to defend against. In the end, we will most probably fall to spiritual defeat. Fear not God will always be there for you like how thankful and grateful I am that God never gives up on me but has drawn me back closer to him and when I look back on my life, I realized how foolish I’ve been and I am glad that I woke up before the I am really destroyed. I pray for strength and faith and that after cultivating my own vineyard I can help cultivate others.
Work today was as usual. Boring. I finished my screenshots and learn a bit of Unix System and did some testing.
