I’m currently reading through Proverbs right now, looking to gain wisdom and insight for my everyday life. I came across this proverb the other morning and it hit me right between the eyes…
“One who is slack in his work is brother to one who destroys.” Proverbs 18:9
There are several things I want Jesus to say about me one day, but DESTROYING the work He called me to is NOT one I want on the list!!
Yet unfortunately it is all too easy to give into my fleshly desires of wanting to take it easy; give myself a break; put things off; push things back; just be lazy or to be as blunt as the Bible - Become a SLACKER.
Jesus has given us a prime opportunity to serve His Kingdom and far be it from me to destroy the work He has called us to. The stakes are too high. The consequences are too great. The time is too short. And Hell is too real.
So the rest of this week, we’ll be exploring some ways we can overcome our natural tendency to want to SLACK OFF in order that we might experience the greatness God has in store for each of us!!
