Danger of the Sluggard

"How long will you lie down O sluggard?
When will you arise from your sleep?
A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to rest--
Your poverty will come in like a vagabond
And your need like an armed man."
Proverbs 6:9-11

How often we become so lazy in a busy over worked culture! That's impossible one might quip. On the contrary, much time is spent gazing at the tv, internet, gaming, etc. for frivolous mind-numbing reasons.

Rather, gird your loins O sluggard, and exercise your mind O sloth! Read the Scripture, enjoy God's creation, build or sew something, talk to your wife, and enjoy your kids instead! Amen!
