Laziness

16/7/2019

0 Comments

 
Some of us are prone to overwork. We work so hard that we might achieve more if we slowed down a bit.
If that's you, you don't need to read on. Please come back for next week's blog.
For the rest of us, the book of Proverbs has a lot to say about laziness. Some of the one-liners are there to make us laugh as well as think:
The door turns on its hinge; the lazy person turns on his bed.' (Proverbs 26:14).
My favourite is Proverbs 22:13:
The lazy person says, "There's a lion outside. I'll be killed if I go out."
Have you heard about the person who was so lazy they put their hand in the bowl but couldn't bring it back to his mouth?*
Here's Proverbs 18:9, which may get you thinking:
The one who is slack in his work is the brother of one who destroys.
Just in case there are people still reading after I told them not to, there is a verse in the Psalms about people who get up early and work until they go to bed late. People like that really do need to learn that sleep is a gift from God too.
Hope to see you Sunday.

* Proverbs 19:24
