The task and project lists at work keep growing. Some time-sensitive technical duties at church are mounting. The "honey-do" list at home is already a couple of pages long, without signs of letting up anytime soon. Needless to say, it's time to put my nose the the grindstone, consistently work hard and accomplish some things.
It's definitely not a time to slack off. However, the busier I get, the more aggressive the temptation to give in to being overwhelmed, and simply shut down. Some of these verses have been ringing through my headphones recently, which tells me that God is trying to help me through more heart problems: fear and laziness.
Proverbs 12:24 (Amplified Bible)
The hand of the diligent will rule, but the slothful will be put to forced labor.
Proverbs 12:27 (Amplified Bible)
The slothful man does not catch his game or roast it once he kills it, but the diligent man gets precious possessions.
Proverbs 19:15 (Amplified Bible)
Slothfulness casts one into a deep sleep, and the idle person shall suffer hunger.
Proverbs 21:25 (Amplified Bible)
The desire of the slothful kills him, for his hands refuse to labor.
There's more than enough work to fill up my day, and some of the items on my plate require some serious depth of thought and skill in order to pull off- some of which I'm not currently equipped to handle. I find that I'm being stretched, and it's uncomfortable. However, in my heart I know that God is with me, and He will see me through these rough times.
Good Night
