It’s WISDOM WEEK here on GUWG, where all week long we’re probing the practical principles of Proverbs.
Frankly, I didn’t feel like writing anything today, which is ironic because today’s topic is:
LAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZINESS
If you’re feeling the least bit sluggish, slothful or snoozzzy, these Proverbs are for you:
How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest – and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man. (6:9-12)
The craving of a sluggard will be the death of him, because his hands refuse to work. (21:25)
One who is slack in his work is brother to one who destroys. (18:9)
Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! (6:6)
GET OFF THE COUCH
GET WORKING FOR GOD
When is being tired lazyness? I am tired much if the time.
But I get about 8 hrs sleep and get uo at 7:30 and walk about 20 min before breakfast, after breakfast I am ysually off and running.
Hi Linnea! I would say that laziness goes deeper than mere physical tiredness — Jesus is after our hearts. To me, lazzziness is when we intentionally slack off from doing God’s will just cuz we’d rather chill and/or pursue our own selfish pleasures. As for tiredness, Jesus calls us to come to him and he’ll give us resssssst. So, when you’re feelin’ tired, come to Jesus for refreshment, fill up with the Spirit and then go out and light up the world!
Hope that helps!
