The lazy do not roast any game, but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt. Proverbs 12:27
Get up and get moving. Laziness is quite easy to slip into and sometimes it is okay to just sit and rest but don’t do it all the time! The first step in good discipline to getting up and not having a lazy day is to start by making your bed. Yes making your bed. I know I instilled this in my children early on because it is a good way to train to be disciplined and to work. Don’t expect maid service in other words.
Do a word search in the Bible on the word lazy or laziness and you will find many interesting verses. Things like “if you don’t work you don’t eat”(2 Thessalonians 3:10). “Look at the ants” found in Proverbs 6:6. Being lazy or slothful causes people to even get to a point they don’t take care of their physical body and end up with many health ailments that could put their life in jeopardy.
Not being lazy doesn’t mean to go to the other extreme and do everything in sight and volunteer for every project because we are indeed supposed to have down time not just all the time. Make yourself get up out of your chair and walk every hour for at least five minutes. Don’t allow the enemy to put you in a lethargic stupor. Get up and go seize the day!
PRAYER: Oh Lord I thank you for having a comfortable bed to sleep in at night with cushy comforters and big pillows but help me not stay there but to get up and make a difference in the world around me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
