Proverbs 23:7
It’s important to think correctly. I am guilty of not doing so at times. This verse is so important to keep in mind.
“I passed by the field of a sluggard, by the vineyard of one who lacks wisdom. I saw that thorns had grown up all over it, the ground was covered with weeds, and its stone wall was broken down. When I saw this, I gave careful consideration to it; I received instruction from what I saw: “A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to relax, and your poverty will come like a bandit, and your need like an armed robber.””

There’s a time to rest but there’s a time to be diligent. Taking time off to relax and not delaying gratification excessively will result in short-term pleasure, but will lead to long-term lack. There’s a balance that must be sought and only God can enlighten that balance for each individual.
