Human Nature


I find it interesting how well the Bible knows human behavior.  Take a look at this. 

1 Timothy 5:11-16(NKJV)
But refuse the younger widows; for when they have begun to grow wanton against Christ, they desire to marry, 
having condemnation because they have cast off their first faith. 
And besides they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house, and not only idle but also gossips and busybodies, saying things which they ought not. 
Therefore I desire that the younger widows marry, bear children, manage the house, give no opportunity to the adversary to speak reproachfully. 
For some have already turned aside after Satan. 
If any believing man or woman has widows, let them relieve them, and do not let the church be burdened, that it may relieve those who are really widows.

This Scripture warns against idleness.  It says young widows "learn" to be idle.  That tells me that being idle is not a natural state.  God designed us to be fruitful.  Not to be lazy.  God made us to set goals and accomplish them. 

Pretty cool!
