Keep working

19  September 2011

Proverbs 12:27 A slothful man will not catch his prey, but the diligent man will get precious wealth.

The more you work at something the better you get at it and the more efficient you become. The result is that you become fitter in what you do, mentally, physically and emotionally this is true whether you bake a cake, mix concrete, study the bible or anything you try. So some of us have to first get our minds around what we have to do, have the correct attitude (feeling) and then be able physically to do it.

The more you weed the garden the less weeds you have, the more you deal with sin in your life, the less sin you have to deal with. All that we do takes effort even if we enjoy the effort, but if we do not make the effort the garden is soon overgrown with weeds and likewise the garden of our life is also full of sin. Sloth or slovenly behaviour is a sin and is closely related to laziness.

In the Christian life we all need to work, to be active in all areas of life, so that when Jesus Christ returns He will find us busy working in His Kingdom.

Be encouraged today to keep working and not to be lazy.

David
