Scripture Readings:  Proverbs 20:8-15, Ezekiel 13-15, John 18:28-19:16

Reflection Verse:  Proverbs 20:13

Reflection:  Beloved, too much sleep brings on laziness, and a lack of work often leads to poverty. It is important that we balance the time that our God provides. Keep in mind that there is a time for work, and a time for rest and relaxation. A balanced person keeps his options open, sees and takes advantage of his opportunities each day, and is satisfied with what he has. 

Prayer:  Dear Heavenly Father, help me to be satisfied with my times of sleep and my times of work. Help me to also be satisfied with my times of plenty and my times of less than plenty. Thank You for providing what I need, and I am satisfied with what You have provided. Help me to manage properly those times and opportunities that You have provided. Thank You, Lord, for all You have given me… In Jesus’ Name.  Amen
