The lazy person is full of excuses, saying, "I can't go outside because there
might be a lion on the road! Yes, I’m sure there's a lion out there!"
As a
door turns back and forth on its hinges, so the lazy person turns over in bed.
Some people are so lazy that they won't lift a finger to feed themselves.
Lazy people consider themselves smarter than seven wise
counselors.
Proverbs 26:13-16
We all probably know at least one person who falls into this category. I have found myself in this category a few times. However, it wasn't because I made the choice to be lazy, I was just overwhelmed with what needed to be done and began procrastinating.
Time and time again God has told me that it is time for us to get our homes in order. It is time to get our priorities straight. If we aren't keeping our homes in order we will not be effective in Kingdom work.
Let's make the choice today to get our lives in order and not be like the lazy man. Did I hear an "Amen"?
Father, You know that sometimes our circumstances devastate us so badly that all we can do is sit and look at the junk. Help us to rid our lives of anything that is holding us back from genuine service. Help us get past the clutter into praise.
