while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied.
Proverbs 13:4
While reading this proverb, I instantly thought of facebook. For me, facebook tempts me to crave "and gets nothing." The more I look, the more I want to look. And pretty soon I am acting like a sluggard; being lazy, unproductive, and unsatisfied.
I am often tempted to get back on facebook, and this verse was a great reminder to me of what is to gain from staying away from it. A diligent soul which is richly supplied. I am so much happier when I can feel good about how I am using my time.
I rest in the promise that "He gives more grace" (James 4:6). There is always grace to help me obey what God is calling me to in his word. His strength is what will help me pursue having a diligent soul, not my own.
