Text: Proverbs 21:25-26 (ESV) 25 The desire of the sluggard kills him,for his hands refuse to labor.26 All day long he craves and craves,but the righteous gives and does not hold back. THE UNMET CRAVING OF THE SLUGGARD There is a big difference between those who "won't work" versus those who "cannot" work due to physical or mental disability and illness. The latter struggle to work or provide for themselves. Thus, they should be cared for. However, the person too lazy to work does not deserve to be fed or supported, does he? We are warned not to waste resources unto them which could rightly be used to help those truly in need (2 Thess 3:10; Prov 14:21; 22:22). These two verses [v.25 and 26] present a moral failure in laziness. But, we praise for those through righteousness turn away from idleness. A "sluggard" is someone lazy or habitually slow to act (Prov 6:6; 10:26; 19:24; 20:4; 26:14). The "desire" of such a person is to enjoy life by doing nothing. Acting according to this preference is killing themselves. Most likely, a sluggard will struggle in his finances, career, relationships, and health. Verse 26 notes that the lazy person is a bottomless pit of "wants." All day long he craves but has nothing to satisfy his craving. Obviously, one's hunger won't go away if he has nothing to eat or fill his stomach.  In contrast, the righteous person is like a never-ending well of generosity (Proverbs 21:26). Unlike the sluggard, he is diligent in work and is able to provide for his own needs and help others.  The Bible portrays work as both necessary and good. It is not a curse. In the garden of Eden, God charged Adam with the responsibility to work and take care of the garden. This is termed by most theologians as cultural mandate. God designs man to be creative and productive. Old Testament characters are noted for their trade and work like shepherds or farmers. A few of Jesus' disciples were fishermen (Mat 4:18). Joseph, Jesus' earthly father, was a craftsman of some type, likely a carpenter, in which Jesus' learned (Mat 13:55). Luke was a doctor (Col 4:14). Cornelius was a soldier (Acts 10:1). Simon was a tanner (Acts 9:43). Lydia was a seller of purple cloth (Acts 16:14). Paul, the great missionary, worked as a tentmaker while he preached (Acts 18:1–4). Colossians 3:23 exhorts: "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men." Obviously, the Lord regards and rewards diligent work highly. Listen and FOLLOW us on our podcast -------------------------Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram

The Sluggard. The Worthless.

David Johnson discusses Proverbs 6:6-8—“Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise, which, having no captain, overseer or ruler, provides her supplies in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest.”

Sunday morning sermon audio from Preston Highlands Baptist Church.

In this message, Pastor John Carter describes the traits of the sluggard and what we can do to take action and break the sluggard habits.

In this message, Pastor John Carter describes the traits of the sluggard and what we can do to take action and break the sluggard habits.

As we are reintroduced to the slothful man and the sluggard, we realize that they are one in the same, and something that every Christian should want no part of.

Is working hard God's plan for you? There are over 30 Bible verses about hard work, and in this episode 172, we look at several that will probably surprise you. We will also make sure the way you work is pleasing to God.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“Imagine a society where no one had to work. Robots and artificial intelligence performed all essential jobs while advanced technologies provided unlimited clean energy, food, and consumer goods. Human beings were free to pursue their passions and spend time with loved ones instead of working. What would life look like in this futuristic work-free world? [...] For the first time in history, our jobs wouldn't dictate how we spend our days.”~Roy Lam, Data Scientist and Psychometrician, “What Life Would Look Like if Humans Didn't Have to Work Anymore” “The image of God was never meant to yawn through life. Yet those who are paying attention will also see something more in this tragi-comic sloth: themselves. We all have an inner sluggard, counseling us to sleep when we should rise, rest when we should work, eat when we should move.”~Scott Hubbard, pastor in Minneapolis, “The Sluggard in Me: Four Lies that Lead to Laziness” “The wise man knows that the sluggard is no freak, but, as often as not, an ordinary man who has made too many excuses, too many refusals, and too many postponements. It has all been as imperceptible, and as pleasant, as falling asleep.”~Derek Kidner, Bible Commentator and Old Testament Scholar, Proverbs “In short, work – and lots of it – is an indispensable component in a meaningful human life. It is a supreme gift from God and one of the main things that gives our lives purpose. But it must play its proper role, subservient to God. It must regularly give way not just to work stoppage for bodily repair but also in joyful reception of the world and of ordinary life…. When we think, ‘I hate work!' we should remember that, despite the fact that work can be a particularly potent reminder (and even amplifier) of the curse of sin on all things, it is not itself a curse. We were built for it and freed by it. But when we feel that our lives are completely absorbed by work, remember that we must honor work's limits. There is no better starting point for a meaningful work life than a firm grasp of this balanced work and rest theology.”~Tim Keller (1950-2023), pastor in New York, Every Good EndeavorSERMON PASSAGEProverbs 6:6-11, 12:11, 21:5, 25-26 (ESV)Proverbs 66 Go to the ant, O sluggard;  consider her ways, and be wise.7 Without having any chief,  officer, or ruler,8 she prepares her bread in summer  and gathers her food in harvest.9 How long will you lie there, O sluggard?   When will you arise from your sleep?10 A little sleep, a little slumber,   a little folding of the hands to rest,11 and poverty will come upon you like a robber,   and want like an armed man. Proverbs 1211 Whoever works his land will have plenty of bread,   but he who follows worthless pursuits lacks sense. Proverbs 215 The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance,  but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty…25 The desire of the sluggard kills him,   for his hands refuse to labor.26 All day long he craves and craves,   but the righteous gives and does not hold back. Exodus 20 8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.Ephesians 2 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.  John 5 3 In these lay a multitude of invalids—blind, lame, and paralyzed. 5 One man was there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?” 7 The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am going another steps down before me.” 8 Jesus said to him, “Get up, take up your bed, and walk.” 9 And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked. Now that day was the Sabbath. 10 So the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, and it is not lawful for you to take up your bed.” 11 But he answered them, “The man who healed me, that man said to me, ‘Take up your bed, and walk.'” 12 They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk'?” 13 Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in the place. 14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse may happen to you.” 15 The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him. 16 And this was why the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath. 17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.”

Proverbs 22:13 says. "The sluggard says, “There is a lion outside!  I shall be killed in the streets!”  What in the world does this mean?  Maybe it's a warnning about all the excuses we like to give.  Give it a listen and see what you think.

How do we live as wise people? The Proverbs are so helpful, and Proverbs 26 describes 4 characters (The Fool, The Sluggard, The Quarrerlsome and The Deceiver) as a word of warning and how to conduct ourselves.

Proverbs teaches wisdom by introducing several characters who show us what the wise (or foolish) life really looks like. Today we meet one of the most ridiculous: the Sluggard.

Hebrews 6:11-12 And we want each of you to show the same diligence to the very end, so that what you hope for may be fully realized. We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised   Proverbs 6:6-11Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! 7 It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, 8 yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. 9 How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep? 10 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest— 11 and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man. The Problem of Laziness   The Folly of Laziness   The Battle against Laziness   

Bryson Thomas, Pastor at Del Ray Baptist Church

King Solomon offers wisdom on dealing with fools, laziness, and deceit. He begins by highlighting the absurdity of honoring a fool and the futility of arguing with one. He uses vivid imagery to describe the characteristics and consequences of folly. The passage warns against laziness, likening it to a door turning on its hinges, and condemns deceitful speech, comparing it to a broken tooth or a lame foot. These proverbs collectively advocate for wisdom, diligence, and honesty, emphasizing the importance of avoiding foolish and deceitful behavior. The Rev. William Cwirla, pastor emeritus, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Proverbs 26:1-28. Step into the spiritually rich landscape of the Book of Proverbs, a text divinely inspired and attributed to Solomon, the sage king endowed by God with unsurpassed wisdom. This ancient scripture begins with heartfelt lessons from a father to a son, laying a foundation of moral and ethical guidance before unfolding into a collection of timeless proverbs. It uniquely personifies wisdom and folly as two paths that stand before humanity, offering a choice between a life filled with virtue, fear of the Lord, and understanding, and one marred by shortsighted pleasures and foolishness. Proverbs serves as a compass for those seeking to walk in righteousness, offering insights that resonate deeply with the human experience, guiding us toward a life of purpose and discernment according to God's will.
