Proverbs - Laziness Makes Us Unreasonable

Proverbs 26:16

The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.

When we are lazy we are unreasonable.  When we are lazy we are not thinking clearly and responsibly.   The flesh is in control.  When we work hard we tend to think more clearly and look at things in a more reasonable way.  We understand the responsibilities that others have because we are taking care of our own.  We avoid unnecessary arguments and verbal conflicts because we are busy with the task at hand.  When we work diligently we feel accomplished and aren’t depending on others to make us feel affirmed and worthy.  If you find yourself a bit unreasonable, check out your work ethic.  Sometimes this is linked to an unreasonable state of mind.
