Lazy?

Have you ever been stressed out and just want to have a good night sleep? Have you thought of making an excuse to prevent you from doing something like reading your Bible or doing your homework? Well, it is human nature to just be lazy and I'm sure everyone has been lazy at least once in their life time but is lazy a good thing or a bad thing?

Let's go to the good side first. Lazy can be a good thing because laziness give us the time to rest and take a break off of your life. You can just relax and have a great time getting off of the pressure in the world.

Well, that was a short brief good side of laziness. How about the bad side? Laziness can be a habit after doing it for a while and that can cause your whole life to change. Like if you were lazy on doing a report for you boss, you can get fire and then you can't make money and your life is ruin. How about students? Well, you don't do your homework and then you can't give your homework on time which causes you to lose some grades that might affect your college grade which affects your job. Well, how does laziness come from?

Laziness come from the same thing as temptation. One time being lazy can ruined your whole life by getting a habit into it just like the same concept of temptation. You get lazy once and then you start getting more and more lazy and pretty sure in the end, you don't care if you don't do your homework or do your job. You just completely block your way of doing it. You do not push yourself to do the right thing. Like me, I was lazy yesterday to do the devotion and then later on I might even get into this habit which I hope not. Like today, I had to push myself into doing this devotion which is really bad.

Well does it mean that you can't be lazy? Of course not! Everyone once in a while do get lazy but the main thing is not to get into a habit and if you really do, try to fix it. Push yourself of not getting into the lazy habit. Its going to be hard to push yourself into doing but you must. Just like reading the Bible, if you don't read it once, you might get into the habit of giving yourself an excuse of not doing it today, tomorrow, and the rest of the days. Laziness can be a big problem of growing your faith. You must push yourself in growing your faith! Faith is really important because faith is what keeps you believing that God is real, the Bible is real, Jesus Christ really came and died for us. It keeps you on what is the truth. If you lose your faith, then you will drown and lose your hope and trust in the Lord.

Hopefully I can do my devos on time and please pray for us because we have many obstacles in our life that block us to from being lazy!

Hebrews 6:12
We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.
