How To Beat Laziness

The problem of laziness.  How do we overcome it


One of the effective ways of overcoming this difficulty is by thinking deeply on the fact that YHWH is present everywhere and always, “And, behold, YHWH stands over him,” and “the whole world is full of His glory,” and He looks upon him and “searches his reins and heart” (to see) if he is serving Him as is fitting. Therefore, we must serve in His presence with awe and fear like one standing before the King.

The point is to remember that inasmuch as YHWH gives one the great gift of time and mental ability and one must not waste these great gifts given by Elohim. By way of illustration: Suppose a great and majestic king personally and graciously gave you a gift, and he stands by you, watching what you will do with it; what would it look like if you would drop it with complete disregard, and go out for a walk or engage in some other pastime, etc.? Surely it is unnecessary to emphasize to you this idea at greater length.

I will only add that the Satan is never lazy, and is very busy and industrious in his efforts to distract us from YHWH's service. Therefore, you must have a ready weapon with which to combat him.

Shalom!!!
