Laziness

Proverbs 26:13-16 " The lazy person claims "There's a lion on the road! Yes I'm sure there's a lion out there!" As the door swings back and forth on its hinges so the lazy person turns over in bed. Lazy people take food in their hand but don't even lift it to their mouth. Lazy people consider themselves smarter than seven wise counselors." Now this is a common issue, Laziness. A lot of folks struggle with this because don't get me wrong, it is as a wise man said "You never get thoughts of doubt when it's time to sit down on your couch and watch netflix all day, but you do when it's time to work", and to be honest when the person said this to me it hit me like a ton of bricks because it's so true. Now in verse thirteen the lazy person is making an excuse about there being a lion outside that is one reason why they won't do the work. Don't get me wrong and I take full blame for it too but when that laziness hits you will search the ends of the earth for an excuse for your laziness. Now in my bible it gives a description of laziness, it says "the less you do the less you want to do" and that's the best description for verse 15 because how much times have you ever received "a hook up" but you said to yourself "ehh I got time to do it"? There would be instances, say for example your mother told you to clean your room and she hands you the utensils and you never to the job. And don't get me wrong alot of the times we will never see how much laziness is effecting us and harming us. You ever meet that kid in school who is wicked smart but just never tries then at the end of the term states "I only failed because I never tried"? I found it kind of funny how much this verse spoke to me.
