This episode looks at Proverbs 10:4, “A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.” Hard work leads to needs being met (cf. 10:3), whereas laziness leads to poverty. This does not always prove true in a cursed world, so we cry out for God to bring his kingdom to earth. This also should drive us to prayer asking for grace to work hard even when we don’t see the results of this proverb.
