You people who don't want to work, think about the ant! Consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander. It has no leader or ruler. But it stores up its food in summer. It gathers its food at harvest time. You lazy people, how long will you lie there? When will you get up from your sleep? You might sleep a little or take a little nap. You might even fold your hands and rest Then you would be poor, as if someone had robbed you. You would have little, as if someone had stolen from you.
~ Proverbs 6:6 - 11 (New International Reader's Version) -

The Lord puts a curse on the houses of sinners. But he blesses the homes of those who do what is right. He laughs at proud people who make fun of others. But he gives grace to those who are not proud. Wise people receive honor. But the Lord puts foolish people to shame.

God has shown you his grace in many different ways. So be good servants and use whatever gift he has given you in a way that will best serve each other. If your gift is speaking, your words should be like words from God. If your gift is serving, you should serve with the strength that God gives. Then it is God who will be praised in everything through Jesus Christ. Power and glory belong to him forever and ever. Amen.
