What does the Bible say about Laziness

I'm gonna be brutally honest with you today. You might not like what I have to say, but you need to hear it anyway. We live in a world of lazy people who feel entitled. They think they can get something for nothing.

We want to challenge you to dig deeper into God's Word, and help you to remove your lens of interpretation, so you can let the Bible interpret itself. We are a Christian ministry that believes and teaches the whole Bible. We want to be like the noble Bereans who studied the Scriptures daily to know the truth.

Our Vision is that people will learn to let the Bible interpret itself.
Our Mission is to cause people to dig deeper into the truth of God’s Word.
We Value the Truth of God as it is revealed through the Holy Scriptures.

UNLEARN the lies with Lex Meyer

My greatest sin is laziness, it has been hindering so much in my life. All I want is to change my ways and obey the Lord.

[AliciaGuitar]

I am physically disabled and get labelled "lazy" because i cannot do physical labor. What they do not realize is the intellectual, non-physical work i do. If you contribute to society in any way, that counts! Everyone has a gift, use it! Do not let anyone shame you if your work does not live up to THIER standards. The only standard that matters is God's!

[Ayiiii]

A prayer upon anyone who reads this-
Lord, I pray that you help us and lead us. Let us not be lazy but guide us by your spirit that in anything and everything that we do- be it helping someone, studying, working, cleaning, - we may glorify you GOD. For you are worthy of all honor and all glory and all praise! We love you so much Jesus. Guide us that we know your will, as we seek you everyday.
We commit all things upon your mighty hand.
In Jesus name, Amen.

I don't feel entitled but I definitely have always struggled with laziness. I am ashamed.

I’ve been struggling with this for the last few years. It’s like I’ve been in this rut where I can’t do what I really want to do and instead I procrastinate. I’ve been missing out on family time and hobbies that I love. If anything is going to get me out of this it is God and Jesus. ❤

“They even act incompetent at times so they can get out of doing the work.”

[sigis]

I struggle with lazyness but I want to emit more love and strengthen my faith. "Work as if you're working for the Lord" - this really helps me understand what mindset i should adopt, instead of how I've been approaching life lately

[johnmarlow]

A Rabbi once told people think God is a genie and that he's suppose to take care or them and on our part do nothing. We have to take steps to GOD for HIM to take steps toward us 😃 😊

[AzBboy]

Work as if you were working for the Lord, what a beautiful passage! Not that I am lazy, but will definitely put this passage into play henceforth at work!

[strongbelieveroftheholybible]

Colossians 3:23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the LORD, not for human masters,
Lord Jesus Christ is truly our Lord and Savior🙏🏼❤️🕊Repent, believe in the Gospel, Be Born Again

Fantastic teaching!!! 🔥 it’s a topic that’s very rarely addressed yet something that’s rife in society. Laziness causes everyone to suffer. Families co workers and colleagues and can have a huge knock on effect in society as businesses struggle thank you for addressing this x

I think its important to note- that there are also hard working people that don't have 'jobs'...(aka a paid position) but still work hard... for example stay at home mothers, missionaries, as well as those who are retired - but still have activities such as gardening, knitting, cooking... etc etc. And this also doesn't mean you have to brow beat yourself... working hard may look like an 8 hour job 5 days a week for someone, it maybe a 12 hour job 4 days a week for someone else, it could be a 5 hour job 6 days... etc etc... and it also doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't take time even on those working days to have fun, spend time and enjoy your family, and/or have some 'self care'- take a hike, play a game, go to the beach, read a book, go to the pool- the park... these are not bad things to incorporate in our days/lives. There is a balance... and life should something you work at by living well, it should be enjoyed. I truly don't think for 1 second Yah was trying to say we all needed to be slaves to our jobs or to never have fun, or travel or spend time with our families and so forth.... and there are seasons where we may be able to do more work than other times... I agree with the sentiment of this video- but I think it could easily cause some folks to feel like they are failures because they will think- oh no! I'm not going to a job & 'clocking in' for 7, 8...10 hours a day 6 days a week... I'm not bringing home a paycheck, am I sinning? Am I breaking Torah?... There may need to be a follow up to this video or some clarifications in regards to 'what work is'... and how much is 'required'... and that this may look different for each person... The point I think Yah wants us to gain from 6 days you shall work- is that we are to be fruitful, purposeful in each day... don't take the days you are given for granted... make the most of each day. Live your life on purpose... be wise and diligent in all that you do- to the best with YOUR abilities and your circumstances. 💞

Im a young man, with severe osteoarthritis in both hips, and still go out to work construction 6 days a week, walking is exhausting, and excruciating, but I don't ever complain about it, i just do it.

[lifewithbumbles]

I love this! We just went over this 2 days ago during Bible study! I love how God works in this way!!

[Alchemize_Me]

Work does not always mean holding a job. Work can be a stay at home mom that contributes to caring for the household and property they live at.

BUT, let’s take it to a spiritual connection to God through His Holy Ghost. We all must do that work to have a consistent and steadfast rebirth through Yeshua. How many can truly say they know, feel, and hear the Holy Ghost in their lives? Let’s speak about spiritual principles which are more important than the careers and things of this earth. After all, Jesus required a man to sell everything he had to follow Him.

Great message but you started that poverty can be overcome by being deligence in your work . This is true for some but not everyone. There are many people who work hard, or work 2 or more jobs but because of inflation, minimum wages, economic systems that are put in place still live below the poverty level. Some people work their butts off and still barely make ends meet. so sometimes diligence does not equal overcoming poverty. Laziness does contribute to poverty. Your statement was that poverty can be overcome by diligent work and that is definitely not always true and never has been true for a lot of people. That just needs to be acknowledged so that it doesn't come off that you are generalizing. Again, great message and I got the point. Be blessed. Thanks

[yawanane]

There is something called overwork which can destabilize a person's life. There has to be a balance to every life. Sometimes the stress of combining secular work and work for the Lord places a heavy burden on people with little or no time to breathe and they are then seen as lazy especially if an aspect of their life suffers as a result

[yourpro]

That monkey grass guy was WISE. Sounds like he worked hard, thought ahead and valued his time. Also thanks for the encouraging words. I'm going to watch more videos.

[gamaarvelo]

Unfortunately we live in a country where laziness is rewarded, and that’s why so many ppl expect everything to be handed to them

[SevenDeMagnus]

Yup, I shouldn't eat, I must think of more way to earn income and may others lazy who think they're busy by doing things (which isn't helpful for the current situations).

God bless.
