Proverbs 15:19
The
way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns:
but
the way of the righteous is made plain.
When we handle our responsibilities in
a lazy way our paths seem to have so many obstacles and become very
unpleasant. A hedge of thorns in our
path would mean that we would have to keep track of every movement so that we
won’t be poked and hurt by this bush.
When we are half-hearted at work or home our paths become filled with
things we are trying to avoid and we are not enjoying our journey. Here the Lord equates diligence with
righteousness. Did you know that hard
work honors the Lord and diligence is to be an attribute of those who follow
Him? When our hand finds something to do
we should do it with all of our might.
When we are asked to do something we should do it heartily as unto the
Lord. Ladies, the life of ease and
pleasure propagates a life of depression and purposelessness. We will feel like we are dead while we are
living if we become women who sit down to eat and drink and only rise up to
play. Sisters, honor the Lord, remove
the hedge and enjoy a plain path as you seek to avoid laziness for His glory.
