To Do

 

To Do

 There have been a few souls down through the passing years that seemingly had nothing to do. Without equity, one should never attempt to compare other’s placid lifestyles to the more astute. Lazy is the common term applied vicariously to those who choose a placid passing of time unconcerned over accumulating required tasks. Such a soul at rest is perfectly willing to allow others to complete their defined duties. If it were their lack of mental compulsion to labor they might be considered “lazy.” If a "slackerd" perceived the need as most others do and thrust the perception casually away, there may be some innate or latent aversion to physical exertion. Or it could simply be an addiction to laziness in need of treatment. Being a procrastinator, they have become a person lacking a sense of direction in life; an underachiever. There are also neurochemicals or lack of such, and non-visible physical impairments that render the appearance of laziness. Pure old productive inactivity by will is against God’s directives to humankind and usually is accompanied by drug use. Don’t underdo and don’t overdo.

 Exodus 35:35 “Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work, of the engraver, and of the cunning workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any work, and of those that devise cunning work.”

 2 Thessalonians 3:9 “...to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us. 10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. 11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. 12 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

 1 Thessalonians 4:10 “...we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more; 11 And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; 12 That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.”

 Luke 10:41 “...Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. 40But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. 41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: 42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”

 John 17:4 “I (Jesus) have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.”

Know God, know peace. Amen. 06/16/21 BLL
