Proverbs 18:9 - One who is slack in his work is brother to one who destroys
A three (3) toed sloth is one of the ugliest creatures in the world.
The sluggard is the spiritual three (3) toed sloth. The Bible has nothing good to say about the sloth.
Laziness comes in little spurts.
Proverbs 26:14 - As a door turns on its hinges, so a sluggard turns on his bed
A sluggard has a difficult time getting out of bed, and loves the snooze button. It caters (snooze button) to those that can’t begin the day on time.
Proverbs 26:15 - The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth
Here is another picturesque description of the sluggard. His is so lazy that he needs someone to spoon him his meal. This description should warn us of how disgusting laziness is to God.
Proverbs 26:16 - The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who answer discreetly
One of the saddest things about a sluggard is that most of the time he doesn’t even realize how lazy he really is.
