1^st Purpose Of God Blessing His People: God Blessed His People So That Other People Might Honour and Fear Him.

 In other words, God blesses you so that the people around you (even the unbelievers around you) as a result of God’s blessing upon your life will fear God in worship and honour Him. 

This is part of what God saying to Israel in Exodus 14:17 & 18. He said He will use Pharaoh and his men to get honour for Himself. He said that He was going to do it so that the Egyptians will know that He is God. So, one of the reasons why God blesses you or delivers us; one of the reasons He promotes us is so that other people who know that you serve Him and are watching you will fear and honour Him because of what He will do for you.

People of God, Psalms 67:7 explains that one of the reasons why God blesses His people and why God will bless you and bless me is so that even unbelievers will see what He has done and will fear and honour Him. Halleluiah!!

Lazy People Are Unwise / Foolish (Proverb 6:6; 12:11):

Every slothful person is unwise and lacks wisdom, and so the bible is saying: “you lazy man or lazy woman go to the earth, look at the ant; go and receive teaching and instruction from the way the ants operate. Meaning that wherever you find laziness, then it’s lack of knowledge and lack of wisdom. For wisdom is consistent with diligence and inconsistent with laziness.

In Proverb 12:11, vain persons are the opposite of the tillers of the ground. Diligent people are people who exercise in their farms and business. Vain person is the opposite of the one that works in his farm and He said that person is void of understanding.

So, laziness is consistent with lack of understanding and lack of wisdom whereas diligence is consistent with wisdom and understanding.
