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.
