To enable or to help?

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.” This is a difficult passage to apply.  It’s truth is absolute, but when do we enable and when do we help a person who truly needs help?  That determination is subjective and individual.  Every thoughtful, caring person who is concerned about his/her relationship with God (that is a huge statement) will apply this passage to themselves and come to a prayerful decision and that decision could change at different times in life.  You and I must have open hearts and wise minds to determine the answer to the question—-Are we enabling or are we lovingly helping.
