THE CONSEQUENCES OF LAZINESS

Today's reading: Proverbs 31

"She carefully watches all that goes on in her household and does not have to bear the consequences of laziness." Proverbs 31:27 NLT

A consequence is a result or effect of an action or condition. 

It's what is produced by or a result of a deed or of something undone.

The Proverbs 31 woman knows that in order to not have to deal with consequences, she must deal with a desire of laziness.

Laziness comes in all forms--inaction, disregard, overwhelm, ignoring, postponement and the all-too-popular issue--busyness.

We can be very busy with a lot of good things and completely miss the best things.

We can wear ourselves out doing, going, being and caring to the point at which we forget what's important.

I'm reminded with this verse that in order to enjoy all God's given me, I must pause--not in a lazy way, but in a way that honors Him, attends to all the blessings He has given me and in order that He knows how grateful I am for who He is!
