READ: Proverbs 6:9-11

9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Kings 19-21

MESSAGE

A sluggard refuses to make efforts: he/she will always hope for tomorrow and do nothing today. It is so unfortunate that many young people are sleeping away their destinies these days. Proverbs 6:9 says: “How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? When will thou arise out thy sleep?” Lazy people love to sleep too much; this is why they are rarely far from their beds. To them, sleep is an end, while to a hard-working person, sleep revives and renews one’s strength.

My child, if you find it difficult to stay awake and listen attentively in class while the teacher or lecturer is teaching, you are a sluggard. If you are in a higher institution and you find it difficult to meet up with early morning lectures, you are a sluggard. If you attend workers meeting late on Sundays, you’re a sluggard as well. God only assists the weak who have exhausted his/her energy and not the lazy who are making excuses for their laxity.

REFLECTION

Are you lazy?

HYMN 8 – Forth In Your Name, O Lord, I Go,

  1. Forth in your name, O Lord, I go,
    My daily labor to pursue,
    You only, Lord, resolved to know
    In all I think or speak or do.
  2. The task your wisdom has assigned
    Here let me cheerfully fulfill;
    In all my work your presence find,
    And prove your good and perfect will.
  3. You may I set at my right hand,
    Whose eyes my inmost secrets view,
    And labor on at your command
    And offer all my work to you.
  4. Help me to bear your easy yoke
    In ev’ry moment watch and pray,
    And still to things eternal look
    And hasten to that glorious day.
  5. Then with delight may I employ
    All that your bounteous grace has given,
    And run my earthly course with joy,
    And closely walk with you in heaven.
