Like, the drawing let's be busy bodies collecting pollens from the flower. Be a beautiful butterfly in your life, not a sloth.
Every day in the channel, newspaper, social media and casual talks, main topic is Covid-19. Now, almost 8-9 month if, you count from Dec 2019, first case in China. A controversy of this virus whether, manmade or natural is going around. Whatever; a man thinks, one thing is sure that the problems going around is well known to God. Life on earth is uncertain, end is a reality. These days are worthy for us. Utilize and be productive to God and others around you.
All, are afraid of the disease so much that; they are slowly losing their smiles. There is no point to be fearful, follow the instruction of cleanliness, wearing mask, and have a positive mindset. Including, the main important Divine shelter in your life. Seek, the grace of God, these days and overcome the situations you, are facing.
I remember, an incident of a man because, of the partial lockdown this; man became careless, spent most of the time sleeping, his wife used to cook, clean, and do all the household work. When, the partial lockdown was also opened this, man became a couch potato.
He would only eat, drink, and sleep. Sometimes, he would spend time with his friends. After, many days of lying down with no work, this man became so; obese that, he developed diabetes, hypertension, and heart problem. Such, a state; of slothfulness happened in him. This incident, reminded me of a story in Pr 24:30-34. In which, the author of Proverbs in Bible, visits a vineyard of a man, here the ground is covered with weeds, and thorns which grows in it, the stone wall or the fence is also broken. This, man instead of; clearing the thorns, weeds, and mending the wall, he hides his hands, in the bosom and sleeps. The animals enters his vineyard, and destroys the crops. As, written in Pr 24: 33,34, "A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest- and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man."
The sloth are so lazy that they do not feed on nutritious diet and eat full stomach and sleep they poop once a week. Sometimes they starve to death even when the stomach is full. They even die in the hanging position in one of the branch. A stitch in time saves nine. It, can also be applied to a person who is sluggard. The, stitching of a small hole on your dress, can become big, if; neglected. The, person if diligent, and works on his assigned task will make him like an ant.
A man is not born lazy, we can see the first man Adam he worked hard and tilled his ground and grew crops. Some, circumstances, or situations cause laziness which, should be avoided.
The slug, is somewhat similar to such person, who moves with no progress. Unconcerned, or not motivated. Without any goal in life. Pr 13:4 "The sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied".
Friends, You and me should be busy for Christ, doing his work and preparing to reap the harvest. God, wants us to give your lives in His hands don't waste your time but, be useful. Hope this blog will enlighten your thoughts regarding your life. Please share comment and be encouraged. God bless you.
Thanks
