Is it important to God if I just don’t feel like doing anything? Look for the answer in 2 Thessalonians 3:11-12, NIV. "We hear that some among you are idle. They are not busy; they are busybodies. Such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and earn the bread they eat."

Does a Christian have to be hard-working? Find the answer in 2 Timothy 2:15, TLB. "Work hard so God can say to you, ‘Well done.’ Be a good workman, one who does not need to be ashamed when God examines your work."

Are lazy people ever successful people? Good question. Look in Proverbs 10:4-5, TLB. "Lazy men are soon poor; hard workers get rich. A wise youth makes hay while the sun shines, but what a shame to see a lad who sleeps away his hour of opportunity."

Does being lazy affect good judgment? It’s in the Bible, Proverbs 26:13-16, TLB. "The lazy man won’t go out and work. ‘There might be a lion outside!’ he says. He sticks to his bed like a door to its hinges! He is too tired even to lift his food from his dish to his mouth! Yet in his own opinion he is smarter than seven wise men."

Here’s a serious lesson for the lazy, courtesy of an ant. If you have a problem of being lazy, look in Proverbs 6:6-11, TLB, for God’s lesson. "Take a lesson from the ants, you lazy fellow. Learn from their ways and be wise! For though they have no king to make them work, yet they labor hard all summer, gathering food for the winter. But you -- all you do is sleep. When will you wake up? ‘Let me sleep a little longer!’ Sure, just a little more! And as you sleep, poverty creeps upon you like a robber and destroys you; want attacks you in full armor."
