What the Bible says about Laziness! 10min. Teaching

Hello and welcome to another video! Today we are talking Wisdom. We are looking at the book of Proverbs and what it has to say to us about being a lazy person. The verses below are all the Scriptures we referenced. One thing that really stuck out to me as I was reading over these scriptures is the importance of the season you are in! It is not a good time to be lazy in sowing season because if you don’t sow the seeds now you will not have anything to Harvest when it is harvest season and you will grow hungry! Now we might not all be farmers in our occupations in life but this concept of sowing and reaping is all too true for all people! Two weeks ago I made a video called “No Need for Comparison” where we talked about Galatians 6, God tells us “Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant.”. So you can see here that God is referring to much more than farming and crops. God wants us to be productive and work toward the things he has put in front of us to accomplish! This topic has been very relevant to me this season as God has encouraged me to not procrastinate or put things off that are important. “No Need for Comparison” Video: https://youtu.be/cPzb9vT_CW8 “Take a lesson from the ants, you lazybones. Learn from their ways and become wise! Though they have no prince or governor or ruler to make them work, they labor hard all summer, gathering food for the winter. But you, lazybones, how long will you sleep? When will you wake up? A little extra sleep, a little more slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest— then poverty will pounce on you like a bandit; scarcity will attack you like an armed robber.” Proverbs 6:6-11 “Those too lazy to plow in the right season will have no food at the harvest.” Proverbs 20:4 “Despite their desires, the lazy will come to ruin, for their hands refuse to work.” Proverbs 21:25 “I walked by the field of a lazy person, the vineyard of one with no common sense. I saw that it was overgrown with nettles. It was covered with weeds, and its walls were broken down. Then, as I looked and thought about it, I learned this lesson: A little extra sleep, a little more slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest— then poverty will pounce on you like a bandit; scarcity will attack you like an armed robber.” Proverbs 24:30-34
