10 Reasons Why You Cannot Be Lazy

• You  are born neither poor nor rich; you are born with ‘nothing’. When you came out of your mom either at a community hospital or elsewhere, how much did you come with you?” Yet, why does one person get poor while someone else rich? (Answer: Proverb 10:4)
• Okay, now you are lucky enough to have $1 million in your savings account. After and despite all the expenditures for this or that, what will happen to the balance? Well, it depends on many factors, but first of all how did you get it? Via hard work? Or through an easy way like winning a lottery? Easy come easy go. “The lazy man does not roast his game, but the diligent man prizes his possessions.” (Proverb 12:27) 
• You say, “Well, I can always file for chapter 7 bankruptcy, and get a relief.” Fine. But the society (see what the Standard and Poor’s did for the U.S.) keeps referencing your credit score to determine whether you deserve the interest rate you desire.
• According to the Dictionary.com ‘idle’ means, “to pass time doing nothing; to move, loiter, or saunter aimlessly.” So as times passes when you do nothing what will happen? A quick answer – Murphy’s Law, “All that can go wrong will go wrong (sooner than later)”. Thus, “if a man is lazy, the rafters sag; if his hands are idle, the house leaks.” Ecclesiastes 10:18  
• During the wintertime, an ant was living off the grain that he had stored up for himself during the summer. The cricket came to the ant and asked him to share some of his grain. The ant said to the cricket, 'And what were you doing all summer long, since you weren't gathering grain to eat?' The cricket replied, 'Because I was busy singing I didn't have time for the harvest.' The ant laughed at the cricket's reply, and hid his heaps of grain deeper in the ground. 'Since you sang like a fool in the summer,' said the ant, 'you better be prepared to dance the winter away!'

• The sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied. Proverbs 13:4 Question: what do crave and desire have in common? Or how are they different? Why does the one who craves gets nothing whereas the one who desires gets fully satisfied?
• If you are an employer, you are not supposed to man the customer service department with a lazy bunch, for that is the quickest way to see the company going down the tube. (Proverbs 10:26)
• I like my DeWalt power drill. You use different drill bits to drill in different material like metal, wood, or masonry. Now we serve people with different issues differently like: “1) Warn those who are idle; 2) Encourage the timid; 3) Help the weak; and 4) Be patient with everyone.” (1 Thessalonians 5:14) Why do you ‘warn’ the idle? Why do we even say, ”If a man will not work, he shall not eat”? (2 Thessalonians 3:10) And what are they warned against? Answer: the devil makes the most use of him, causing  him or her to fall victim to all sorts of deceiptful schemes like false prophecies  (2 Thessalonians 2; 3:6-7,11).  (The title of a sequal goes:“Idle hands are the devil’s playthings”.)
• I sweat to keep my garden (front yard and back yard) ‘weed-free’, but you know it gets messy real quick; if I leave it unattended, soon it is difficult to nevigate. Is it only your garden that gets filled with undesirable stuff like thorns and thistles? Why is it that the paths of one’s life are clogged up with thorns and thistles? Again, it is not due to your bad horoscope or anything but your hands:“The way of the sluggard is blocked with thorns, but the path of the upright is a highway”. (Proverbs 15:19)
• Finally your dream came true: you worked hard so at the age 40 you are ready to retire. Does this mean that you can let your hands go idle? I know you know the answer, so work even harder now than ever. :-<  Ecclesiastes 11:6.

So here the poem goes: I passed by the field of a sluggard, by the vineyard of a man lacking sense, and behold, it was all overgrown with thorns; the ground was covered with nettles, and its stone wall was broken down. Then I saw and considered it; I looked and received instruction. A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man. (Proverbs 24:30-34 ESV)

P.S. The real problem in dealing with you a sluggard is that a sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who are wise counselors. Proverb 26:16. So it is written: Go to the ant you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise!" Proverbs 6:6
