Proverbs 11:8. The righteous person is rescued from trouble, and it falls on the wicked instead. This verse means that God will save us from our troubles if we do the right things. At some points we might think that we should take the easy way out, but if we do what God wants us to do we will be saved, and those that take the easy way out will be punished. One action step we can take is try to always do what God intends for us. If we do what we want instead, God will not have pity on us. Sometimes we must do the work to get what we want. We can also pay attention to the decisions we make and if we find that we have done something wrong, try to fix it. Everyone makes mistakes, but if we admit we were wrong and make a good effort to make things right, we are more likely to be forgiven.

Proverbs 10:4
Proverbs 10: 4 "Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth." This verse means that we should work hard, and God will give us what we deserve. If we sit around and do nothing, we will get nothing out of life. This is an important verse because many people are very lazy these days and should remember the good things that can come out of hard work. In the future, when we feel like taking the easy way out, we can push ourselves to make ourselves better. It also reminds us that God rewards those that help others,so hopefully this verse can motivate us to do good. Another step we can do is remind the poor that their hard work will eventually pay off, and maybe this will give them extra hope to continue working.
