I like how KJV describes the lazy in Proverbs 20:4.  He says, “The sluggard will not plow…” Not only does he describe the lazy as slow, using the word sluggard, but he says what he “will not do”.  This tell me it wasn’t anything else but his own will that kept him from working hard.

That tells me that no excuse is ever good enough for being lazy, for it is the persons own will that will push them to move or cause them to sit still.  No cold weather.  No person.  No obstacle.  No difficult task will keep me from moving if my will to move is stronger.

So what happens to the person whose will won’t let them do the work that is necessary in the season set before them.  The same verse gives their end, “…therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.”

Plain and simple.  If your will is to be lazy and do nothing in the time given to you, then you will have nothing and have to beg in the time of other’s harvest.

What will you do?

Be wise.
