 Proverbs 12:27The lazy person does not roast his prey, but personal possessions are precious to the diligent.Proverbs Daily is a reader-supported publication.

When you see the word “upgrade,” you’re simply invited to help me make the sacred positively contagious...thank you in advance for becoming a free or paid subscriber.One of my favorite Stevie Wonder songs is “Visions.” Which is wild… because here’s a blind man casting a vision to us who see…of what the world could be.Let me just give you…a taste of this song. He says, “People hand in handHave I lived to see the milk and honey land?Where hate’s a dream and love forever standsOr is this a vision in my mind?”Stevie!!!!That’s inner vision.Stevie chose not to be lazy with what he saw inside— and he gave the world what many of us with 20/20 eyesight still can’t see.SCRIPTURE BREAKDOWN — Why Laziness Costs MoreThat’s why this Proverb 12:27 isn’t about hunting prey — it’s about handling process. Listen:“The lazy person does not roast his prey…”Meaning— they caught something. Opportunity was there. Potential was real.But roasting takes work. Prep takes time. Imagination takes a lot of effort.So the lazy person wastes away what could have fed them.And then Solomon flips it:“Personal possessions are precious to the diligent.”The diligent person sees value in what others dismiss. They don’t just look with their eyes— they look with that…inner vision.They see 15¢ and just know that they can make it into a dollar! They see scraps and imagine a meal. They see a small idea and imagine a future.Diligence Is Imagination + ActionHere’s the deeper wisdom:Laziness isn’t just about lack of effort. It’s about refusing to imagine more than what’s immediately visible.Diligence is imagination plus ingenuity.The diligent person asks: “What could this become if I work it?” “What happens if I roast it instead of wasting it?”You Can Train Your Inner VisionSee, you don’t have to be blind to develop inner vision. You just have to practice at it.Wisdom isn’t about having more resources. It’s about treating what you already have as precious.The diligent don’t wait for more— they start working what’s already in their hands.🔥 LookWhat laziness overlooks, diligence makes work.PrayerLord, sharpen my inner vision–bring imagination and ingenuity together.Today’s ChallengeLook at the scraps in your life today— time, talent, ideas, relationships, resources. Don’t judge them. Imagine them.Ask: “If I roasted this… what could it feed?”Then take one small step toward making it real.About the AuthorFred Lynch is a creative communicator, author, and Christian Hip Hop pioneer.
