Laziness is a sin that many people struggle with. We tend to avoid hard work and instead expect things to be done for us. Maybe we complain when we are supposed to do chores or our homework. But life takes hard work, and the Christian life takes even more hard work.
In this chapter Solomon uses the illustration of an ant, here is what he says in vereses 7-8: "Without having any chief, officer, or ruler, she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest."
The ant doesn’t need anyone to watch over it making sure that it does what it needs to do. And neither should you. You should fulfill your obligations for school and in your home without your parents riding you the whole time.
