The sin of sloth…

click here to read about how this series came to be. I speak in italics, and our Lord in bold print.

Your heart is troubled today. Why do you think that is?

I really don’t know. I’ve let myself get behind at work. I’m anxious at the thought of buying an office building. I’m uneasy about a hard conversation that I need to have. But I really don’t know.

Your heart is troubled because there is sin. The sin is sloth. You have been slothful this week. You don’t live a disciplined or hard-working life to gain money, or to avoid or fight stress. You do so because this is obedience…this is what it is to love me. So confess and repent, and I will heal you. Then go and sin no more!

That is all for today. The sin of sloth is deadly, for you and for others. Resist it with all that is at your disposal. This is the Lord.
