Pro 24:34 | MHM | STEP | v. 34 : So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man (Proverbs 24:34 ). Just as a traveler keeps moving closer until he suddenly arrives, poverty sneaks up on the lazy person. In the end, need and trouble come quickly, like a robber who cannot be stopped. This warning is not just about money and property, but also about our spiritual lives. If we neglect our hearts and souls, they too will be overrun with weeds and left unprotected, leading to spiritual ruin.

This warning is not just about money and property, but also about our spiritual lives. If we neglect our hearts and souls, they too will be overrun with weeds and left unprotected, leading to spiritual ruin.
