God gives us a clear warning from His Word this morning!
Proverbs 18:9
9 He who is slothful in his work
Is a brother to him who is a great destroyer.
How do you work? Are you a go getter or do you cut corners anytime you can? This is a verse that should help us make the decision everyday to give our very best. When I read this verse what catches my attention is the "brother to the great destroyer". Who is the great destroyer? Satan! He seeks to devour and destroy us each and everyday. So if we choose to be lazy in our work, God says we are a brother to Satan. Wow. Why is that? Well when we are lazy we are not giving our employer all that they have hired us to do. Basically we are robbing from them. Let's think of it from a spiritual stand point also. We are to be working for God by sharing our faith, if we are lazy then we are robbing people of the opportunity to come to Christ. The consequences of this are eternal!
So how about are you lazy or a go getter?
