The Lazy Man Will Always Expect To Get Paid
The motto in today's society is those that don't work get paid and those that work get paid less. It ought to be those that don't work don't get paid, and those that work do get paid.
Please bear in mind that there is always something for someone to do. Even if you are not able to be on your feet for a long period of time or if you can't lift heavy equipment or know how to run a certain machine. There is always something for everyone.
I do understand those that can't work because of certain things but the majority of people in our day and time are not working while drawing a check from the government. That is not right. People are making more to stay at home and do nothing rather than those that actually work a public job forty hours a week.
While our military gets treated unfairly we have people that are not doing anything that get treated better.
There are preachers that are working and pastoring yet we have people that complain at how much the preacher gets while they are sitting and not doing anything at all and getting paid more than the preacher.
We are living in a messed up society. A society where lazy people get treated better than working people.
I still believe if you do not work you ought not to get paid!!!! Amen!!!!
Please do not misunderstand me. There are people that can't work and I get that but those are the ones that need help financially not the ones that can work but DON'T!!!!
You don't read about the lazy man getting paid in this passage of scripture. You read about those that do the work get paid.
Next time you go through the drive thru and see someone working thank them or next time you see a hard working preacher thank them.
They need encouragement because of all the lazy people out there that won't do nothing yet expect a pay check each month.
By the way, what you put in your work you will get out of your work.
If you do not plant a garden and sow seeds don't expect increase to come out.
By the way, if you ain't doing nothing nobody needs your input on how to do something.
I don't get input from a man that claims he is a carpenter but I don't see the work. I won't get advice from a so called mechanic that has never worked on cars and they definitely won't get my money!!!!! Why? They are LAZY!!!!!
Same thing goes for ministry, don't expect to get increase in the bus ministry if you don't work it. Don't expect to reach the lost if you do not witness. Don't expect to get fed if you don't open your Bible. Don't expect to have fellowship with the brethren if you can't get along with them.
Don't expect opportunities if you don't take the ones given to you!!!!
Lazy people are always expecting a ton when it's the hard working people that are getting underpaid!
Hope you have a hard working type of day!!!!!
Ezra 3:1-13 KJV
And when the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem. [2] Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and builded the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God. [3] And they set the altar upon his bases; for fear was upon them because of the people of those countries: and they offered burnt offerings thereon unto the Lord, even burnt offerings morning and evening. [4] They kept also the feast of tabernacles, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the custom, as the duty of every day required; [5] And afterward offered the continual burnt offering, both of the new moons, and of all the set feasts of the Lord that were consecrated, and of every one that willingly offered a freewill offering unto the Lord. [6] From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt offerings unto the Lord. But the foundation of the temple of the Lord was not yet laid. [7] They gave money also unto the masons, and to the carpenters; and meat, and drink, and oil, unto them of Zidon, and to them of Tyre, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea of Joppa, according to the grant that they had of Cyrus king of Persia. [8] Now in the second year of their coming unto the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem; and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to set forward the work of the house of the Lord. [9] Then stood Jeshua with his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to set forward the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brethren the Levites. [10] And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the Lord, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the Lord, after the ordinance of David king of Israel. [11] And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the Lord ; because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the Lord, because the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid. [12] But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, who were ancient men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy: [13] So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.
