WISDOM WARNS OF RUINOUS BEHAVIOR AND SLOTH
6 Go to the ant, you sluggard!
Consider her ways and be wise,
7 Which, having no captain,
Overseer or ruler,
8 Provides her supplies in the summer,
And gathers her food in the harvest.
9 How long will you slumber, O sluggard?
When will you rise from your sleep?
10 A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to sleep—
11 So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler,
And your need like an armed man."

This morning we are going to continue our story of Proverbs 6. We will consider verses 6-10. These verses address a common perplexity of youth, laziness and sloth. We see that Wisdom is not surprised by our weaknesses and struggles with sin.
As we saw in verses 1-5, Wisdom doesn't leave us in our sin, but leads and directs us in the way we should go… what we need to do and not do if we would live a life that gives glory to God.
