Proverbs 12:27 The slothful man roasts not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious. 

‘The slothful man roasts not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.’ The slothful hunter is too lazy to roast his prey, but the precious treasure of the diligent man is utilized for the good of all. Plenty of hunters today hunt for trophies and not for food.

Those who are diligent appreciate what they have and acknowledge their blessings as precious. Without a thankful heart, we will not receive from God. From John 6:11 as well as on other such occasions we see Jesus giving thanks to God for blessings already provided, putting emphasis on thankfulness rather than asking for food to be blessed. Psalms 92:1 reminds us that it is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD and to sing praises unto His Name.
