A lazy man cannot find truth:
Proverbs 13:4
The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing;
But the soul of the diligent shall be made rich.
Proverbs 12:24
The hand of the diligent will rule,
But the lazy man will be put to forced labor.
Proverbs 10:4,5
4 He who has a slack hand becomes poor,
But the hand of the diligent makes rich.
5 He who gathers in summer is a wise son;
He who sleeps in harvest is a son who causes shame.
Proverbs 6:6-11
6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
8 Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.
It is interesting that in Proverbs 6:7 that the ant has no guide, overseer, or ruler which to me sounds like the church leaders.
Do not seek after signs.
Mark 8:12
And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.
Think about this: those who are seeking a sign are waiting for God to show them the truth not actively seeking it.
Matthew 7:7
Ask, and it shall be given you;
seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
But what shall we seek:
John 7:18
He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory:
but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
1 Chronicles 16:9-11
9 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.
10 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
11 Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.
