Novel Journey: It Takes Practice!: "
Proverbs 13:4 The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing; but the soul of the diligent shall be made rich.
Lord,
Please help me to be diligent to exercise this gift. Give me a vision of what I will be in the future if I work hard. Thank You for all You are teaching me on the way.
Amen"
Janet's prayer is the perfect addendum to our comparison between what NIV translates as Cravings VS. Desires.
Thanks for bringing it on home, Janet. The story here is wonderful!!!

Proverbs 13:4 - "The sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied."
So what is the difference between the desire of a dilligent person and the craving of a lazy person?
From the start, we nod our heads knowingly, acknowledging that this proverb is true. A craving is a carnal drive that overwhelms our judgment and woos us into reckless thinking and action.
