Proverbs 24:33-34 “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 proverb or principle truth in life was written about 3000 years ago.  This truth is as true today as it was when it was originally written.  Poverty is not new.  Laziness is not new.  A wasting of one’s talents is not new.  Our author is really giving you and me a choice–work and manage your money and your life will be fine: or don’t and find yourself broke in more ways than one.
