What are some wise sayings that you have to offer? Post them! If you post a bible verse explain why you chose that verse.
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese - Unknown
Think mouse trap for those that might not get it at first.
See time is a space given by God in His kindness and grace/ - Timothy Brindle
Time flies as if time had some wings/
But this is irony right/
While most spend the time of their life trying to have the time of their life/
Thinking lies are really true/
If you’re busy killing time the truth is time is killing you/
But you’re too cool- you love to take your time/
You fool- God can come and take your time/ - Timothy Brindle
"That old goose did not sit on the eggs till they were all addled, and now Providence is to be blamed because they won't hatch" - Charles Spurgeon
These two quotes I heard from Charles H. Spurgeon. His way of words is a little different, so I'll explain them. This is from a talk about taking opportunities. God empowers us, but will we take that opportunity? The goose could have sat on the egg, but it procrastinated. And now that it didn't see God did have a way it still says anyway "Why God?! Why?!"
"He that will not when he may,
When he will he shall have nay." - Spurgeon (Quoted by Spurgeon, not sure if it's his own). This is from the same talk. In other words, he that does not take the opportunity when its there will be rejected when he wants to take it when it's no there.
And maybe to go with Spurgeon, here are bible verses on slothfulness, procrastination, and taking opportunities.
We reap what we sow.
Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. Prov 6:6-8
Excuses are a result of slothfulness.
The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets. Proverbs 22:13
Laziness will not yield lucrative results. We can even be damaged spiritually if we are lazy.
For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. 2 Thessalonians 3:10
