A wise youth works hard all summer; a youth who sleeps away the hour of opportunity brings shame.
Time is one of the most important assets that all people equally. Opportunities ride upon the ebb and flow of time, which explains why when a unique opportunity is gone, it’s likely gone forever. Two schools of thought on opportunities are: 1. “That’s the person I used to be”; or 2. “That’s the person I could’ve been”. In Proverbs 10:5, King Solomon reminds us to watch out for every opportunity that God gives us, to work on those chances and to refrain from “sleeping on it” or even worse, “sleeping in”. After all, an opportunity lost because of laziness is worthy only of shame. Have you ever lost a chance at achieving or obtaining something because of your own personal laziness?
