“Hinges”
Blessings folk!
Ah, The Sluggard.
The Sluggard is actually creative in their rationale…excuses.
They are constantly breaking forth in explanation as to why something can not be done, etc.
As we have seen, “there is lion in the street”.
Better not go out.
Do not want to take a chance.
Better remain in a state of slothfulness.
The Proverbist continues…
Pro 26:14
As a door turns on its hinges,
so does a sluggard on his bed.
ESV
The Sluggard.
Rolls over in the bed when he should arise.
Back.
Forth.
Refusing to arise.
Refusing to rejoice in the new day given.
Pro 26:14
As a door swings back and forth on its hinges,
so the lazy person turns over in bed.
NLT
Over and over, getting no where.
Such is the self-fulfilling pattern of The Sluggard.
Be not a Sluggard.
Arise!
Shine!
Isa 60:1
Arise, shine, for your light has come,
and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you.
ESV
Eph 5:13-14
But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible,
for anything that becomes visible is light.
Therefore it says,
“Awake, O sleeper,
and arise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you.”
