"The Sluggard and the Scroll: A Gen Z Wake-Up Call" - a story line review of proverbs 6

Jayden was a creative 20-year-old with dreams of launching a revolutionary app to help students manage their mental health. He had the ideas, the skills, and even a mentor. But Jayden had one fatal flaw—procrastination.

Every night, he’d scroll endlessly through TikTok, convincing himself he was researching trends. Each morning, he’d hit snooze, muttering, “I’ll start tomorrow.” Weeks turned into months, and soon his once-burning vision faded into a series of unfinished notes.

One night, he dreamed he stood before a giant ant hill, watching thousands of ants work tirelessly—no boss, no supervisor—yet each one carried out its role. A voice thundered in the wind, “Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise.” Jayden awoke sweating. He opened his Bible and landed on Proverbs 6:6–11. The verses pierced him:

> “A little sleep, a little slumber... and poverty will come on you like a thief.”

Convicted, he deleted the distractions and built a daily routine. With discipline, prayer, and focused work, Jayden finally launched his app—helping thousands of students find healing and focus.

Moral: God gives vision, but diligence brings manifestation. Your scroll can either be your distraction or your scroll of destiny—choose wisely.
