Laziness
We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.
Hebrews 6:12
It’s been almost 2 months since I updated this devotional. I have been praying to God, but I have not been writing down what I’ve learned. I admit it’s due to laziness in my part. I believe laziness is a sin. In my case, it led to complacency and ultimately a stagnation (and even breakdown!) in my spiritual growth. I can’t let this happen.
As stated in Matthew 20:6-7, I can’t just sit around and wait for things to happen. I have to go and do something to get earn my blessings. Jesus has given me grace when I don’t deserve it. I have to try and match his effort. I can’t die on the cross, but I can pick up His cross.
Lord, thank you for the grace you’ve given me. Thank you for saving my life, even though I don’t deserve it. I get the message, loud and clear, I have to wake up and follow your hard work to save myself. I know I can’t do this by myself. I know you’ve been helping. Lead me to your living water so I can live another day, with your strength and wisdom. Amen.
