Message Notes:
Laziness & Diligence
A good life plan should avoid slothful or lazy characteristics.
17 You must diligently obey the commands of the Lord your God—all the laws and decrees he has given you. 18 Do what is right and good in the Lord’s sight, so all will go well with you. (Deuteronomy 6:17-18 NLT)
14 And so, dear friends, while you are waiting for these things to happen, make every effort (be diligent) to be found living peaceful lives that are pure and blameless in his sight. (2 Peter 3:14 NLT)
Affected Areas of Our Lives
- Work
- Relationships
- Health
- Faith
If laziness is left unchecked…
- We will struggle to finish what we start.
Lazy people don’t
even cook the game they catch,
but the diligent make use of everything they find.
(Proverbs 12:27 NLT)
- We will make excuses.
The lazy person
claims, “There’s a lion out there!
If I go outside, I might be killed!” (Proverbs
22:13 NLT)
- We will not succeed.
Work hard and
become a leader;
be lazy and become a slave. (Proverbs 12:24 NLT)
58 So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless. (1 Corinthians 15:58 NLT)
Questions:
- 1. In what area of my life can I do better?
- 2. What are my next steps?
11 Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically. (Romans 12:11 NLT)
