Diligence

Have you ever realized that there are 31 chapters in Proverbs?  That's just the right number to read one chapter a day!  Today's date is April 12 so this morning I read Proverbs 12.  Boy, is it full of verses I needed to read today!  The main point I felt that God was trying to get across to me is to be diligent and not waste time.  I tend to waste a lot of time "playing on the computer".  There are lots of things I do on the computer that help me in serving my family and managing my home but most of the time I spend on the computer is just wasting time.  Proverbs 12: 11 says "He who tills his land will have plenty of bread, But he who pursues worthless things lacks sense."  Now I don't have a field of corn ready to be planted but it doesn't mean that literally.  I believe it's talking about doing what is necessary to maintain my life - food, shelter, all my housewife responsibilities.  So by me sitting at the computer doing "worthless things" I am being senseless!  I don't want to be senseless.  So today I am going to work on being more diligent with my time.
