(Spiritual) Poverty will come upon you like a robber....
That man Joshua Harris is talking about is me. It's amazing how the sinful heart of man can take something good (like spiritually edifying or nourishing blogs) and find ways to replace God with it. Using my ESV Study Bible Online probably doesn't help because I'm always, always tempted and fall into temptation to check other things while I'm reading.
Proverbs 24:33-34
A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest,
and poverty will come upon you like a robber,
and want like an armed man.
Brothers and sisters, let us take heed from these words of wisdom, lest spiritual poverty come upon us. Let us refuse to give Satan a foothold in our lives, or compromise anything to sin. God help us in our apathy and complacency and lead us daily to the rock upon which we must desperately cling!
