Are you Lazy

Did you wake up today and wish you could just stay in the bed, Ignoring all around you. Do you think your housework will get done on it’s on? Do you just feel lazy, or is it the rest around you that are lazy and you are tired of doing your work and theirs? I work with someone who is always putting their things off on whoever the target may be at the time. I watch as they are always leaving things lying around, too lazy to pick up after themselves.


Proverbs 13:4 4 the soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing; but the soul of the diligent shall be made rich.

Proverbs 19:15 15 Laziness casts one into a deep sleep, and an idle person will suffer hunger. The Bible is clear that, because the Lord ordained work for man, laziness is sin. “Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise” (Proverbs 6:6).

Proverbs is filled with wisdom concerning laziness and warnings to the lazy person. Proverbs tells us that a lazy person hates work: “The sluggard's craving will be the death of him, because his hands refuse to work” (21:25); he loves sleep: “As a door turns on its hinges, so a sluggard turns on his bed” (26:14); he gives excuses: “The sluggard says, ‘There is a lion in the road, a fierce lion roaming the streets’” (26:13); he wastes time and energy: “He who is slothful in his work is a brother to him who is a great waster” (18:9 KJV); he believes he is wise, but is a fool: “The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who answer discreetly” (26:16).

God loves when we earn our keep and help others as well, but don’t let laziness take over your life, for depression will soon fall in your path. Which we all know is the devil’s way.

Persistent laziness should not be permitted. Hard work should characterize the Christian's life-style. Lazy people are not successful people. Lazy people do not have good judgment.

2 Thessalonians 3:6-15 (King James Version) 6Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us. 7For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you; 8Neither did we eat any man's bread for naught; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you: 9Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us. 10For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. 11For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. 12Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread. 13But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing. 14And if any man obeys not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed. 15Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

As you see the bible says a lot about laziness, so the next time you just want to let someone else do all the work, think about how God is feeling towards you and your ways. One of my big issues in this lifetime is that I can be incredibly lazy. Even when I'm feeling motivated, I have a very hard time acting to being my desires into fruition.

 Our Heavenly Father I come before you in need today for myself and others, Please hear my cries, I hate that I sleep way too late (when i say way too late, i mean waaaaay too late), i pray for more motivational energy, and for the divine to kick my butt into action! I'd appreciate any positive thoughts you can send my way Father. I ask that abundant Divine Grace be showered upon me. Father I ask that you give me Divine Inspiration and allow your angels to guide me in this process of discovering a new passion, today and always. Father give me encouragement to live life to its fullest and to walk a path in your righteousness. Amen!

“Laziness”

Proverbs 21:25 The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour. 21:26 He coveteth greedily all the daylong: but the righteous giveth and spareth not.



Lately I have just felt so lazy; I cannot get the desire to do anything at home. Sure, I have been unable to do a lot since the surgery; however, I decided to take it to the Lord. I ask this day for energy and control over the pain so that I can accomplish things I desire.

Every day on my way to work, I see homeless and my heartbreaks for them, however, there are a couple that I know has been offered jobs and they refuse. One in particular has said he makes more money not working than we do working and he laughs about it. Therefore, I do know there are many that do not want better for their life. It is those that make it bad for those who really do not have a home, or job, or anything. I went into Gods word seeking the subject of laziness and was shocked to find several scriptures relating to the subject.


I do believe the Lord is talking more about those that will not do anything to help themselves or their families, than me for having a bad day. I do know I am not going to chance it; I will put my heart into cleaning what I am blessed to have. Proverbs is especially filled with wisdom concerning laziness and warnings to the lazy person. Proverbs tells us that a lazy person hates work: A lazy person becomes a servant: “Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in slave labor” 12:24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute. His future is bleak: “A sluggard does not plow in season; so at harvest time he looks but finds nothing”. The bible uses the word sluggard for lazy.


As a Christian, I know there is no room for laziness, we must make time for our home but also time for the lost and we cannot be lazy about getting out there to help. We know that God will reward us for what we sew.


1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

Solomon warns us many times over in the book of Proverbs about the sluggard. One who puts things off, who finds every excuse in the world to not go outside, there are also those who are spiritually lazy, not only do you not want to get off your lazy bottom, you don’t want to hear or talk about God. That is one laziness I never wish upon anyone for without God you are nothing. And with laziness you will never accomplish anything that God requires of you, so they go hand in hand.


I suggest today that you get up and get out. Let God take care of the rest. He will give you the strength and the courage if you only ask. No more excuses folks. It is time to start anew and work. God bless you my friends. I personally ask for this strength today to get things done and for healing unknowns to human doctors. Praise you Father in Jesus Holy Name. Amen!
