Turn with me to Proverbs 20:4-5. These are our verses to study and memorize this week.
Proverbs 20:4-5 The sluggard does not plow after the autumn, So he begs during the harvest and has nothing. 5 A plan in the heart of a man is like deep water, But a man of understanding draws it out.
Introduction
In Proverbs 20 we are looking at the scoffer and the king as we are being taught by Solomon on the character, integrity, and justice that a society needs to thrive. At the beginning and end of this section (Proverbs 20:2 and 21:1) and at key points in between the focus is brought back to the king and his judgment of the wicked (Proverbs 20:8, 26, 28). In between we have a litany of behaviors that negatively characterize the scoffing mocker and thus would need to be dealt with to protect the community. Along the way we will also contrastingly be given some positive marks of integrity and wisdom that will build up a nation.
Last time we looked at the king’s responsibility to be a terror to wickedness. In a just society, the scoffing mocker bears the consequences when they provoke rulers with their evil. Then we examined the true honor found in keeping away from strife versus the natural tendency of fools to quarrel and produce conflict. The wise promote and pursue peace so far as depends on them. They want to build up their nation, not tear it down.
Now, we come to another set of issues that every nation and community faces. Together our two verses deal with opposite problems. The first problem is from the lazy sluggard who does not adequately plan and prepare for the future. A wise community needs to learn how to deal with those who will not work, as well as how to promote diligent and industrious workers. The second problem is from the hidden plans within the hearts of people which need to be uncovered, figured out, and dealt with. A wise community needs to have discerning leaders who deal with dangerous plans, as well as those who can bring out and develop good plans.
With that overview, let’s take a closer look at Proverbs 20:4-5.
4 The sluggard does not plow after the autumn, So he begs during the harvest and has nothing.
The lazy person does not prepare for their future needs, so they end up begging and going without.
We looked at laziness fairly extensively in Proverbs 19:15 where we saw that—
Proverbs 19:15 Laziness casts into a deep sleep, And an idle man will suffer hunger.
Proverbs 19:24 reiterated that with its picturesque extreme.
Proverbs 19:24 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish, But will not even bring it back to his mouth.
This is indeed a behavior that is dangerous and foolish for an individual, as well as for a nation. In our current proverb we see the impact that laziness has when people do not plan or do not act on that plan. This proverb moves in a three step progression.
1. The lazy person does not act when they should act. They do not plan ahead to make sure that their future needs are met. We all have basic, foundational future needs that we should be able to foresee: food, shelter, healthcare, exercise, education, relationships, an ongoing income to pay for needs, etc. The lazy person ignores those realities. The lazy person lives for the moment. They live for what feels nicest and best now, rather than taking into consideration the future and reality.
2. When that troublesome future arrives, the lazy person resorts to trying to get others to provide for them what they should have done themselves. Even after making foolish, lazy choices that get them into a dangerous predicament, characteristically lazy people do not change their ways. They do not go out and begin working to change the pattern that has caused the problem. Instead, they push off their responsibility onto other people. They beg for help from others. They try to make their problem other people’s problem. Notice, it does not say that the lazy person then begins to industriously glean for food at the edges of other people’s fields like the poor were allowed to do in Leviticus 19:9-10. No, that is still too much work for them. Instead, they just beg.
3. The lazy person ends up not getting what they need. When lazy people are too lazy to even begin to work hard when their life could be on the line, it does not make anyone want to help them. Very few people want to give their own hard earned money to help people who will not plan ahead to meet their own needs, and who will not even work when their needs desperately come upon them.
People who mock at the God-ordained way of providing for needs through work and refuse to work when they are able to work ought not be rewarded and provided for. A community or nation cannot grow and advance if people will not work. It will not thrive. It will be burdened down by taking from those who do work to give to those who will not. This disincentives everyone else from wanting to work hard. If what they have is just going to be taken away and given to those who do not do anything for it, why should they work hard? This is a huge problem with socialist and communist policies. It may sound nice to some people to forcibly take from the richer and just give it to the poor, but doing that cannibalizes the ability to keep doing it. Eventually the nation is impoverished. Work is discouraged. Laziness is encouraged. Stagnation and ruin occurs.
A family, a community, or a nation cannot thrive where laziness is encouraged or supported. Allowing the manipulative mindset of willful dependence upon the support of others to take hold discourages right behavior and encourages wrong behavior. It is one thing—and a good thing at that—for people to willingly give and help those who are working hard but are still in need. Food banks, WIC, and other programs to aid people can be very helpful and good if administered rightly. But it is an entirely different thing when manipulation, fraud, and gaming the system occurs in such a way that people can intentionally not work and still expect to be provided for.
A wise nation, community, church, or family encourages planning ahead to see one’s needs. Wisdom encourages hard work to meet one’s needs. Wisdom does not reward laziness. Wisdom would, like with gleaning in Israel, give opportunity for people to work and meet their needs when hardships come.
Scriptural Example: In Scripture, we see a negative example of this proverb with Esau in Genesis 25:29-34. He did not plan well before his hunting trip to have some food available to him if he did not get anything. Then he stayed out too long and came back famished. To compound that, he lacked self-control and did not value his birthright. So he sold it all for a bowl of savory stew from Jacob. That was poor planning in the present and for the future. There was laziness to not plan beforehand, or to not go and prepare himself some food as soon as he got back from his trip—even if it was not as tasty as that stew. There was consideration only for what he wanted in the moment as he smelled that stew. Jacob’s manipulations, of course, were also not right. But it all could have been prevented on Esau’s side if he had planned ahead of time, not been lazy at his return from hunting, or not just lived for the moment. In the end he ended up with nothing. The stew came and went, and so did his birthright.
On the positive side, we have a good example of planning and of doing the hard work necessary to be prepared for the future in Genesis 41. There Joseph interpreted the dreams of pharaoh about the 7 years of plenty which were going to happen and then the 7 years of famine which would come upon Egypt. But Joseph’s interpretation and advice did not stop there. He also gave a wise solution to these coming situations so that they would be prepared to deal with the famine. He proposed that 1/5 of the grain be saved each year during the years of plenty so that there would be enough during the famine times. Then when he was appointed to carry it out, he industriously did so. There ended up being so much grain saved that it could not be measured. He worked. He prepared. He was not lazy. He forced the whole nation to save and prepare. In the end they had enough to not only feed the nation, but also to feed those who came from the rest of the world to help them all get through the famine.
In a more ordinary example of this proverb, the book of Ruth gives us a good picture of how things ought to be on the family level. Naomi came back to Israel impoverished after her husband died in Moab. Her sons had also died, and she only brought back her one daughter-in-law Ruth. They had not, so to speak, “plowed after the autumn” and thus did not have their own harvest to reap. Yet, what did Ruth do? Did she beg? No. She did not depend on others or just try to get handouts. She went and worked hard in the God-ordained method of provision for the poor. She was not lazy. She gleaned at the corners of fields and at what was left over after the reapers passed through—just like Leviticus 19:9-10 laid out. This hard work to provide for herself and her mother-in-law got the attention of the land-owner, Boaz. We know the rest of the story. It made him want to help Ruth and Naomi and make sure they were taken care of. God providentially worked out the rest of the details, and they were taken care of permanently.
We all have needs. Some are unexpected. Some are seen years in advance. What is bad for an individual, or for a nation is when people do not plan, prepare, and work diligently. What is bad is when people ignore the obvious, plain, reasonably expected situations which will come upon them. What is bad is when people are lazy and do not care. What is bad is when people just expect others to meet their needs or rescue them out of situations instead of working hard to deal with them as best as they can.
Proverb in Comparison: When we compare this proverb with the rest of Scripture we see that this kind of lazy, begging, ignoring-responsibilities kind of life ought not characterize Christians.
In the past we have mentioned 2 Thessalonians 3:10-12 which highlights that “if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either.” It also has a very strong command that believers are “to work in quiet fashion and eat their own bread.” We are not to be lazy sluggards mooching off other people. Another extensive passage, which we have not yet looked at in light of this issue of laziness, is found in 1 Timothy 5:3-16. It is in regard to how the church is to help needy widows in their midst. As it lays out how to deal with that issue, it also highlights how families are not to be lazy, but take care of themselves. Notice the multi-layered instruction going on here.
1 Timothy 5:3-16 Honor widows who are widows indeed; 4 but if any widow has children or grandchildren, they must first learn to practice piety in regard to their own family and to make some return to their parents; for this is acceptable in the sight of God. 5 Now she who is a widow indeed and who has been left alone, has fixed her hope on God and continues in entreaties and prayers night and day. 6 But she who gives herself to wanton pleasure is dead even while she lives. 7 Prescribe these things as well, so that they may be above reproach. 8 But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. 9 A widow is to be put on the list only if she is not less than sixty years old, having been the wife of one man, 10 having a reputation for good works; and if she has brought up children, if she has shown hospitality to strangers, if she has washed the saints’ feet, if she has assisted those in distress, and if she has devoted herself to every good work. 11 But refuse to put younger widows on the list, for when they feel sensual desires in disregard of Christ, they want to get married, 12 thus incurring condemnation, because they have set aside their previous pledge. 13 At the same time they also learn to be idle, as they go around from house to house; and not merely idle, but also gossips and busybodies, talking about things not proper to mention. 14 Therefore, I want younger widows to get married, bear children, keep house, and give the enemy no occasion for reproach; 15 for some have already turned aside to follow Satan. 16 If any woman who is a believer has dependent widows, she must assist them and the church must not be burdened, so that it may assist those who are widows indeed.
Do you see all that is going on there? The church is to honor and help those who are truly widows among them. But first, their own children and grandchildren are responsible to care for them. No laziness or shirking responsibilities is allowed within God’s people in His church! However, when there are true widows who are all alone, they are to be enrolled on a list and provided for while also given ministry responsibilities. They are to commit for the rest of their life to a life of prayer and ministry. This is not a one way street of money being provided without service or work. They are not just to be going out and living selfishly for themselves with the church’s assistance.
Notice also that this is a serious relationship and ministry commitment that requires having had a prior life of faithfully living for God with qualifications almost like an elder or deacon! This list and support is only to be for widows over 60. This support is specifically not for younger widows. They need to continue fulfilling the current role and purposes that God has for them. As part of that, younger widows are to work to support themselves as needed.
Quite importantly, for all those women who are younger than 60, this passage gives quite a clear encouragement and set of guidelines on the kind of life that women should be living and growing in right now. Be a one-man woman. Build a reputation for good works. Bring up children. Show hospitality to strangers. Serve the saints. Assist those in distress. Devote yourself to every good work. Apparently, if you do not live intentionally in these ways for God, then the church is not responsible to care for you in this ongoing financial way. You have not lived the life that God intended for you. That is quite the sobering reality. This life description is quite an industrious one that leaves no room for laziness.
In the midst of this passage, there are two other very important commands related to not being lazy and to working hard. First, this passage also very strongly highlights that if a man does not take care of his own responsibilities to provide for his own household “he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.” That is an extremely strong condemnation. That is how important it is for us men to avoid being lazy sluggards in God’s eyes. “Worse than an unbeliever”—that is a jaw dropping comparison.
Beyond that, this passage also mentions that if there is a younger woman who has a dependent widow in her family—perhaps like in a Ruth and Naomi situation—she must assist her with her needs. This is explained as being to prevent having extra burdens placed on the church. Essentially, this is so that the church can carry out its ministries unhindered and meet the needs of those who are widows indeed.
All in all, this passage gives us a very strong picture of God’s people industriously working to meet their own needs and those within their family circles. That takes planning. That takes effort. That takes intentionality. That takes commitment. Ephesians 5:15-17 helpfully adds this in a more general way.
Ephesians 5:15-17 Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, 16 making the most of your time, because the days are evil. 17 So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
God wants us to be thinking and planning people. He wants us to use our time wisely. He reminds us of the danger that we need to be aware of. “The days are evil.” The days, the environment, the world system that we live in is focused on and pursuing empty, vain, wasteful, and outright evil things. We are not to be deceived into mindlessly following the pattern of the world around us in how they live.
Rather, we are to “understand what the will of the Lord is.” We are not here to live our “best life now.” We are not here to build up an “American Dream,” or a certain kind of retirement where we can selfishly hoard up resources to just spend on ourselves like the man who wanted to build himself bigger barns and just sit back in ease (Luke 12:16-21). We are to remember that we are pilgrims on this earth. Our treasure should be stored up in heaven. Even when we experience material blessings in this life we are to be like Joseph. While he was the second in command over all of Egypt, the name that he gave to his second son in Genesis 41:52 emphasized that God had made him “fruitful in the land of my affliction.” That is what his second’s son’s name meant and reminded him. Yes, there was fruit and blessing. But He was not in the promised land of God. He could not and would not forget that. Egypt, with all its privileges and blessings as the world’s superpower, was still the land of his affliction. His heart was set on God and His promises. Even on his deathbed, he never lost this perspective. He commanded them to bring his bones to the promised land when they eventually went there (Genesis 50:25). That is how we too need to live and die. We need to understand God’s will in relation to His eternal purpose for our lives and plan accordingly for that. We are ambassadors of Jesus who were assigned the task of making disciples of Jesus among all nations. Are you pursuing and planning for that?
Truth in Connection: As we connect this to our lives, we should ask if we ourselves are lazy. On the physical side of things, do we work and meet our needs? Or do we just expect others to provide for us? Do we work to be able to meet our future needs and to be able to help those in our physical family or church family that might need it? Before God, that is our general responsibility. Yes, emergencies happen, and we all try to be there for each other in those. But we should still ask ourselves if we are planning for our future in meeting our needs and those of our families. We should make sure we are not being lazy or ignoring what is reasonably expected to come.
Going further than this, we also ought to ask ourselves if we are lazy spiritually in our walk with the Lord. Many people are hard workers for money, but sometimes that is just because money or something else is really the idol they are pursuing. Those same people might also bury their head in the sand spiritually and be lazy sluggards when it comes to their relationship with God. Therefore, we ought to ask ourselves how diligent we are with keeping our hearts and minds pure through confessing sin, with regularly taking time in God’s Word, with having family times in God’s Word, with using our spiritual gifts, with giving of our time and money to make disciples, or with helping others. There are many ways we can be lazy in our relationship with God and just wrongly depend on other people to feed and provide for us. We all have needs and responsibilities spiritually. We need to be just as intentional to work to meet those needs and feed ourselves spiritually as we do with our physical needs.
This will take planning. This will take hard work. This will take discipline. As this church celebrates its 40th anniversary today, we would do well to reflect on this. This church would not have survived this long if many people had not been hard working spiritually to stay in God’s Word and to industriously live it out. Unfortunately, over the years there have also been a number who did become lazy and are no longer with us. They stopped feeding and providing for themselves spiritually and shipwrecked or drifted away. We cannot take any of this for granted. We each need to be diligent to work and provide for our needs both physically and spiritually. We should not depend on others to do all the work for us. That might work while we are babies, but as we grow up we need to take these responsibilities upon ourselves and provide for our needs and our families needs. If we do not, then we will be a burden to each other and keep each other from being able to fulfill the full ministry of the church well in this community.
We will not fulfill God’s purpose for us as a church if we are lazy. So, let’s be among those who faithfully plan, prepare, and pursue God’s will for our lives. May we be faithful to make disciples of Jesus in this community and wherever God calls us to live and serve. May we keep our focus on Christ through the inerrant truth of His Word. May we live in thankfulness to Jesus always remembering that He went to the cross and died for us so that we could be forgiven and saved from our sin. We were dead in our trespasses and sins. We were helpless and unable to save ourselves. Yet, He loved us so much. He paid the penalty and judgment for all those who would believe in Him. It is a free gift that none of us deserve and none of us can earn. May we never forget that! May we always live in light of it. This is still our “land of affliction.” May we remember the home that is preparing for us eternally with Him.
If you have not yet trusted in Jesus as your Lord and Savior, then I would urge you. Do not be lazy. Do not ignore this. The wages of sin is death—eternal separation from God under His righteous judgment. Do not keep trusting in yourself and pursuing an aimless way of life. Doing that will only end up in a destruction way worse than being lazy and not working could bring upon you in this life. Turn from that way of life and trust in Jesus today. He rose from the dead to conquer sin and death. He alone can bring life to you and overcome your sin and death. In Him alone is eternal life. Surrender your whole life to Him. Trust Him with everything.
Our next proverb continues this theme of planning, but it takes it in a completely different direction than the one who is lazy and does not plan. It deals with the hidden plans of people’s hearts.
5 A plan in the heart of a man is like deep water, But a man of understanding draws it out.
A person’s plans, motives, and ideas can be very murky to understand, but a wise person figures out the reality of the situation.
Deep waters are murky, mysterious, and unknown. A plan in someone’s heart is compared to that. Naturally speaking no one knows what is going on in someone else’s heart. Many times our own motives and what is behind our thoughts and plans can even be hidden from ourselves. Being able to discern what is really going on in people’s hearts with their plans, or even what is going on in our own hearts is a mark of discernment, wisdom, and understanding. The wise person knows how to ask the right questions, observe people’s actions, and understand human nature enough to eventually draw out the plans and motives of the heart.
On a general level, this proverb could include such positive things as the what and the why behind people’s plans and goals. The wise person is skillful in helping them get figured out, communicated, or clarified. It could maybe even apply to being able to figure out how to move from having a plan to figuring out concrete ways to actually turn it into reality. This would be the gap between having a concept and actually executing it. Throughout life people have all kinds of visions, expectations, and plans, but a person of understanding can also envision the process and help guide in making steps to bring those plans to pass. That being said, these more general issues do not seem to be the main focus of this verse. Those issues will more be dealt with later on in the chapter in Proverbs 20:18 when it tells us to “Prepare plans by consultation, And make war by wise guidance.”
Here though, within the context of dealing with the scoffing mocker, this hidden plan in the heart would much more likely be the selfish, hidden, manipulative, or dangerous plans that people have which the man of understanding perceives and uncovers. The wise person is discerning. They see the different angles and possibilities and work to figure out what is really going on. For a society to thrive it needs people with discernment to guide, guard, and protect it. Some people are a danger to a community or nation through their laziness and lack of planning. Others are a danger to a community or nation through their hidden plans for evil.
Scriptural Example: In Scripture we see an example of this with Jonathan and David in 1 Samuel 20. Saul had become very jealous of David. In 1 Samuel 19 he had even gone to the extent of telling his servants to put David to death. On that first occasion Jonathan was able to intervene and talk sense into his father. Later in that same chapter things again turned bad. Saul threw a spear at David and chased him away. In that second case God intervened and had His spirit temporarily come upon Saul as he chased David. He made Saul stop and prophesy before Samuel. In 1 Samuel 20, after all that, David and Jonathan were wary of Saul. Yet, David was expected to be there with Saul at a feast that was coming up. So they made a plan to discern what the true state of Saul’s thinking was and to determine whether his plans were still deadly for David. Jonathan gave a gracious and reasonable reason for David’s absence to see how his father responded. When Saul ended up responding with great anger and threw his spear at his own son Jonathan, it became quite clear what murky, evil plans lurked within Saul’s heart. Through his wisdom Jonathan drew it out. Then they knew how to respond. David needed to flee and stay away.
In the New Testament Jesus was an expert at drawing out what was within people’s hearts and dealing with it. He did this with Nicodemus when he came to him by night in John 3. Nicodemus saw Jesus’ miraculous signs, but he needed to believe in Jesus and be born again of God’s Spirit. So Jesus talked him through that. Jesus also did this in John 4 with the woman at the well. She needed to be confronted with her sin, realize it could not satisfy the thirst of her soul, and trust in Him as the promised Messiah. Jesus also showed this discernment of what was in the heart of man in his interactions with the rich young ruler who came to him wanting to know the way of eternal life. Jesus revealed to him that, although he might have outwardly kept many commandments, his money was actually still his God. His plan was to try to serve both God and money. The rich young ruler needed to realize that to have eternal life he needed to turn from his money and follow Jesus. Sadly, he did not.
A person of understanding ends up being able to work past the murky confusion of the way things appear to discerning and drawing out what the real issues, plans, and motivations are in a person’s heart.
Proverb in Comparison: When we compare this proverb with the rest of Scripture we see how this can be done and how to grow in this area. Proverbs 2:1-9 gives us this pathway to follow within our own hearts to discern whether our plans are good and right, or bad and wrong.
Proverbs 2:1-9 My son, if you will receive my words And treasure my commandments within you, 2 Make your ear attentive to wisdom, Incline your heart to understanding; 3 For if you cry for discernment, Lift your voice for understanding; 4 If you seek her as silver And search for her as for hidden treasures; 5 Then you will discern the fear of the LORD And discover the knowledge of God. 6 For the LORD gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding. 7 He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk in integrity, 8 Guarding the paths of justice, And He preserves the way of His godly ones. 9 Then you will discern righteousness and justice And equity and every good course.
First, we need to listen to wisdom. We need to pursue it like it was the most important treasure there is. If we do, then we will learn the fear of the Lord and begin to gain knowledge of God. Wisdom comes from Him. Getting it from Him will protect us, guard us, and preserve us. As we have His wisdom we will be able to discern what is right and wrong. We will be able to see what the right path is in situations and what plans are good, pure, and righteous. We will be able to see what thoughts and plans are wrong and need to be avoided.
Psalm 19:7-13 reiterates that the wisdom we need to discern the murky plans of the heart is found in God through His Word.
Psalm 19:7-13 The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; 8 the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes; 9 the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb. 11 Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward. 12 Who can discern his errors? Declare me innocent from hidden faults. 13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me! Then I shall be blameless, and innocent of great transgression.
We see the same principles here as in Proverbs 2. God’s wisdom, which is found in His Word, is more to be desired than gold or the best food. His Word is what gives the wisdom we need to be made wise and to be warned. On our own, as verse 12 indicates, we cannot discern our own errors. We have hidden faults that we cannot always see. We need to seek God to help us see and avoid both those hidden faults as well as the presumptuous sins which can overtake us if we do not stay close to God. God’s Word is what warns and protects us in all these situations.
Hebrews 5:14 then ties this together and shows us how we can become people of understanding who can draw out the plans of others and discern through the murky waters of their hearts.
Hebrews 5:14 But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil.
Maturity in the Christian life comes through the practice of applying God’s Word to life situations. Through that we are trained to discern good and evil. As we apply God’s Word to our own hearts and life first, and then in the other life situations around us, we will grow in being discerning. We will grow in understanding the human heart. We will grow in seeing God’s wisdom pierce through the fog and depravity of hearts. As we do we will become more and more people of understanding who can draw out the plans of people’s hearts. We will be able to protect ourselves and others from wicked plans, and guide others in pursuing good and godly plans.
Truth in Connection: As we connect this to our lives we need to realize that within our own hearts we are going to have wicked plans which need to be drawn out, seen for what they are, and turned from. We need to be like the psalmist and cry out to God to protect us from both our hidden, unknown faults as well as from having presumptuous, intentional wicked plans guide our steps. We need to stay pursuing the treasure of the wisdom of God’s Word. We need to let that draw us into maintaining a true and real fear of the Lord which remembers and has a real belief in God’s holiness, in our own sinfulness, in God’s judgment of sin, and in God’s redeemed way of life. As we seek God and have a fear of the Lord we will grow in having the wisdom to also discern, protect, and help others as they deal with the plans in their own hearts which are as murky as deep water.
May we be people of understanding who daily and continually draw out and compare the plans of our own hearts to the wisdom of God’s Word. May we point people to Jesus with the salvation from sin and the new life that He alone can provide through what He did on the cross with His death, burial, and resurrection.
If you have not trusted in Jesus as your Lord and Savior, do so now. This is where we must all start. Without Jesus saving us from our sin we are blind, dead, and enslaved to it. It will lead us into dangerous, destructive plans which go against all that is good and righteous that we were created for. Turn to Jesus today as your Lord and Savior. He is the only Savior. In Him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Turn to Him as your Savior, and then keep turning to Him day by day for guidance in everything.
Conclusion
If you have any questions on any of this or want help in coming to know Jesus as your Lord and Savior please come talk with us. We are available. Let’s pray.
