Let God In

Solomon – Proverbs 18:9
He also who is slack in his work
Is brother to him who destroys.

You destroy stuff when you’re lazy.

Josh – Proverbs 9:7
He who corrects a scoffer gets dishonor for himself,
And he who reproves a wicked man gets insults for himself.

Reprove the wise and let God handle the scoffer.

Joel – Isaiah 65:23
"They will not labor in vain,
Or bear children for calamity;
For they are the offspring of those blessed by the LORD,
And their descendants with them.
"It will also come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear.

These verses show the benefits of salvation and trusting the Lord. Let God in.

Ouida – Titus 3:5
He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,

Good results depend less on our righteous works and more on God’s mercy.

Gerry – Hebrews 3
For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end, while it is said,
"TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE,
DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS, AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME."
Romans 8:14
For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

We will be slack in our work (at least spiritually) and fools unless we let God in. When we are His adopted children being led by His voice and His Spirit, then we experience His mercy and the results of His work.
