Proverbs 11

Proverbs 11:1  A false balance is an abomination to Yahweh, But accurate weights are his delight.

I believe this verse is meaning that God likes it more when we put balance in our life. We shouldn't focus all our attention on some things like material goods, etc. It is okay to enjoy some of those privileges, but then we must also take time to talk to God and build a more loving relationship with him. This week I am going to take more time out of my schedule to listen and talk to God. Before I go to bed, I will connect and talk with God. I will also try to refrain from being on my phone constantly and focus on doing more productive things.

Proverbs 10

Proverbs 10:4  He becomes poor who works with a lazy hand, But the hand of the diligent brings wealth.

This verse is telling us that people who are lazy and don't try hard will not be successful. People that try their best and work really hard will prosper and live a successful life. This verse is important to understand because it teaches us that we must work our hardest to be successful in life. If we work hard, God will reward us with a good life. If we are lazy and don't try as hard we will suffer the consequences of a poor life. By taking the advice of this verse, I will try to work harder in school. I will dedicate more time to doing my homework at home instead of watching TV and being lazy. I will also be more helpful around the house and do chores to help my mother.
