Hello you,
In a hypothetical situation let’s say you and a team of people are building something together, and you have the project done, however there are still some pieces missing that you find left out on the floor.
How functional do you believe this project you built may last before it possibly falls apart and breaks down? Do you let your fellow workers know, hey we left these things out. Then they say don’t worry about that it’s fine as it is. Only to start coming apart, shortly after.
Or Let’s say you are building a house, however you desire to it quickly, and because of that you skip out on certain aspects such as maybe not wiring up an electrical outlet for the dryer and washer, or the plumping for the sink and the bathroom.
For one thing in this scenario you will not be able to wash or dry your clothes, or wash your hands, or take a shower or use the commode in your house that you quickly built up for yourself.
God doesn’t desire for you to have bits and pieces, he desires you to have a full confidence and trust in him, and the word of God is helpful in learning and growing in biblical truth about our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, that you may stand firmly, grounded and rooted in that foundation, abiding in faith, hope and of course love.
These are some helpful scriptures dealing with slothfulness, have you ever read or seen them before?
“He who is slothful in his work Is a brother to him who is a great destroyer. The name of the Lord is a strong tower; The righteous run to it and are safe.”
Proverbs 18:9-10 NKJV
“I went by the field of the lazy man, And by the vineyard of the man devoid of understanding; And there it was, all overgrown with thorns; Its surface was covered with nettles; Its stone wall was broken down.”
Proverbs 24:30-31 NKJV
“Because of laziness the building decays, And through idleness of hands the house leaks.”
Ecclesiastes 10:18 NKJV
“For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies.”
II Thessalonians 3:11 NKJV
“that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.”
Hebrews 6:12 NKJV
“Laziness casts one into a deep sleep, And an idle person will suffer hunger.”
Proverbs 19:15 NKJV
“The lazy man says, “There is a lion in the road! A fierce lion is in the streets!” As a door turns on its hinges, So does the lazy man on his bed. The lazy man buries his hand in the bowl; It wearies him to bring it back to his mouth. The lazy man is wiser in his own eyes Than seven men who can answer sensibly.”
Proverbs 26:13-16 NKJV
““But his Lord answered and said to him, ‘You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed.”
Matthew 25:26 NKJV
“not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality.”
Romans 12:11-13 NKJV
Be encouraged to study the word.
If you wanna ask questions to someone who might be an elder (mature in faith) go ahead ask them, they might help you.
Then again you may show them something they never thought of before. Of course always seek for God and his guidance and check the scriptures…
They are beneficial, I don’t care what anyone else may tell you, you should go and seek and learn and renew your mind by looking at Gods word, be encouraged!
