Thoughts on Ecclesiastes 10:18
Laziness is not just an attitude; it is a lack of action. It is a choice to let important matters suffer and neglect what is necessary. The results of this laziness choice may not always be immediately evident. However, with time, the accumulating signs of decay make the results of idleness very clear. This is doubly true spiritually. How many people have remained lost because God’s people were lazy about reaching out to the lost and broken. Yes, laziness isn’t just an attitude; it is a choice not to act!
Let’s Pray Together
Dear Heavenly Father stir up in us a passion to do what is true and good and righteous. Convict our hearts when we neglect what is important. Please help us to discern the difference between laziness and a genuine need for rest and to balance our lives between our many responsibilities. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
