Proverbs 24

v.30-34 "I walked by the field of a lazy person, the vineyard of one with no common sense.  I saw that is was overgrown with nettles.  It was covered with weeds, and its walls were broken down.  Then, as I looked and thought about it, I learned this lesson:

A little extra sleep, a little more slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest-then poverty will pounce on you like a bandit; scarcity will attack you like an armed robber."

This morning my focus is on being lazy.  I was thinking about ways that I am personally lazy:

Being the last one in bed during the week.

Not doing the dishes when they should be done.

Washing clothes.

Watching sports and putting off school work.

Doing yard work.

I think it is in our sin nature to be lazy.  We are more like the sluggard than we are the ant...see Proverbs 6:6-11!  Lazy people are not only lazy when it comes to work, but they are also lazy when it comes to God as well.  We need to be careful when it comes to being lazy and not get trapped!

Lazy people have no common sense. v.30

Lazy people have no protection. v. 31

Lazy people end up poor (spiritually and financially). v. 34
