*COMMENTARY*
Ponder carefully on what is said about alcohol, it expresses the consciousness of danger. As a wise and serious-minded person in life, I mean a serious-minded fellow you will not want to give in to drinking alcohol which is labelled a mocker and a brawler. Those who give in to alcohol have allowed it to control them, and alcohol as a mocker will make you become a mockery.
Therefore, if you do not want to become silly and stupid, you have to avoid alcoholic drinks. Verse 3 of the text gives Some basic and specific instructions that even if you are confident of your strength and ability, wisdom demands that you do not parade or look for an opportunity to prove it. What kind of person are you? Being a sluggard does not only imply drunkenness, it also touches some other aspects of our lives
too, e.g. being lazy, and not giving to study. As someone in the
academic line, if you fail to study hard then you are planning
to fail woefully in your exams. If you don't work hard on what you are doing, you shall have nothing good and meaningful to show for it.
Yes, I am not ignorant that God is our provider "Jehovah Jireh" but he said that whatever you lay your hands upon Will prosper it, so make sure you lay hands on something, and
whatsoever your hands find doing do it well because there you
will be blessed. In all you do, learn to cultivate the habit of hardworking, oh
thou sluggard go to the ants and see how he gets food for yourself.

🎚 *CONTROLLING THOUGHTS*
God still expects us to be hardworking, despite his promises of blessing us, so learn to plan and take positive actions.
🙏🏿 *PRAYER*
Dear Lord, please grant me the grace to be hardworking and not to be a sluggard in the name of Yeshua the Christ. Amen
