Proverbs 18:9 He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.
Well this morning I read about 5 chapters in Jeremiah (got started reading through the Bible half way through the year) and then I read my daily chapter in Proverbs. While reading chapter 18 this verse just kind of lept out at me.
What is the Bible saying here? Well if you have ever seen a sloth move you can probably figure out the kind of person the bible is refering to as a slothful man. Sloths don't move much and if they do they move in slow motion. As a matter of fact, I'm wanting to think that they are the slowest animal in the world. I could be wrong on that, but I'm pretty sure of it.
But anyway, a slothful man would be one that is lazy. You probably know the type. You can't hardly get them to do anything, and even if you do, they take their time to an extent that nothing really ever gets done.
The Bible says that he is "brother to him that is a great waster." So why would it say that? Consider this.
Say someone approached you with this deal. Each day you would be given $86,400. You could spend it anyway you liked. You could use it to invest, waist, or just whatever you wanted. At the end of the day you get to keep the fruits of whatever you used the money on, but everything left is lost. The next day you did get another $86,400 again, with the same options. Would you let much of that go to waist each day, or would you make sure to invest as much of it as possible for the future?
The reason I ask is each day you have 86,400 seconds that you choose to either invest or waist. At the end of each day you loose the time that you have not spent. You get another chance the next day but the seconds left unused the day before can never be reclaimed. In essence they have been waisted. You do however get to keep the fruits of the time used.
So what do you do with your time? Do you invest it so that you can enjoy the fruits of it in the future? Do you invest much of it for Christ? This is the only way you can be sure of enjoying the fruits from now on, for all eternity. Or do you just sit by and let all those seconds fall off each day with no benefit gained one way or another? If so, no wonder God would say that you are "brother to him that is a great waster."
