Listen to Praying the Promises
Proverbs 6:6-8 KJV– “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.”
Negligence can manifest in small, seemingly insignificant ways that, over time, have profound negative consequences. It often starts with procrastination, complacency, or a lack of attention to important details. When left unchecked, it can lead to missed opportunities, unfulfilled dreams, and spiritual down time.
Proverbs 6:6-8 painted a vivid picture of a remarkable quality of an ant; diligence. Diligence is applying the 1% required to arrive at 100%. Remember the saying that “little drops of water make a mighty ocean.”? Same thing happens in life, paying attention to tiny details can save you from losing a business that took you 10 years to build. Avoiding negligence helps you maintain a disciplined and vigilant approach to every aspect of life. no matter how small, it is significant to God. By being focused and consistent, you demonstrate faithfulness and position yourself to reap the rewards of diligent service.
Today, take a moment to reflect on any areas of negligence in your life. Commit to taking immediate steps to address them, and ask God for the grace to be diligent and faithful in all you do.
START-UP PRAYER:
Father, in the name of Jesus, I repent of any areas where I have been negligent. Help me to be diligent and attentive to Your call. Let my actions reflect a heart committed to excellence and responsibility in Jesus name.
