Proverbs 19: Slothful

Are you lazy? The Bible uses a word in many translations: slothful. This is used to describe a lazy person.

One verse in this chapter has this to say: “Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep, and an idle person will suffer hunger.”

Lazy people will end up sleeping so much that they don't get anything done; you can't be productive when you are sleeping. An idle person won't be able to make money so he will be hungry.

As younger individuals we set the pace of our lives. The habits that we form now will be with us for the rest of our lives. Are you lazy now? There is still time to change, so stop being lazy and work hard so that you will no longer be slothful.
