Proverbs 10:26 NKJV

[26] As vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes, so is the lazy man to those who send him.

I feel very fortunate to have been raised by parents who saw the value in work. Sure, they made mistakes, but they always did what they had to do to get by. We never lacked for anything because they worked for everything.

II Thessalonians 3:10 - For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.

As a man, it drives me crazy to see people who lack a work ethic. We were made to work and be productive. It is in our DNA from creation because we were made in the image of the Creator. For me, it is my highest honor to have the privilege to provide for the family God gave me.
