It is very true that if one is to do nothing, then no mess will be made.
"Where no oxen are, the grain crib is empty, but much increase of the crops is by the strength of an ox." Proverbs 14:4, Amplified
This could not be a truer statement. Where there are no oxen, one does not have to clean the stall nor clean the grin crib, nor fill the grain crib. Life is a little less simple without an ox.
But what this verse is trying to convey here is that one must work and exhibit responsibility in order to get paid. Without that ox, one cannot do certain things.
Think of it like a taxi cab driver who has no taxi cab. How does he make money? He can't. Why does he have no cab? He complains that gas prices are too high, he does not want to have to clean the car or maintain the engine. Gas, cleanliness and maintenance are three things the cab driver must do in order to produce income.
In order to make money for ourselves, we must be willing to do those things which perpetuate our income.
