Confession: today wasn't the best of days. It's not that it was overly hard or stressful, either. I didn't give it my best, not even a decent "college try". My effort and motivation just plain sucked. What happened?
I know better than to be passive and lazy. My heart screams to charge ahead, but there seems to be a pull toward not achieving, not striving sometimes. I know what it takes to succeed and how easy it is to fail. We all know that we ought to give our best each and every day, but sometimes we don't do what we should.
We already know what the Bible says about laziness. Let's make tomorrow a more productive day, so our weekend rest is earned and we can feel good about the progress made at the end of the day.
Proverbs 6:6-11
Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.
How long will you lie there, you sluggard?
When will you get up from your sleep?
A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest-
and poverty will come on you like a bandit
and scarcity like an armed man.
Yikes! I do NOT want that! Please pray for those of us whom struggle with this issue.
Good Night
