Most of us know the Gospel story well. Jesus stepped down from heaven and lived a perfect life…
…a life without sin.
…he never did anything evil or wrong.
…he never wounded people.
…never hurt them.
In fact, he gave his entire life serving people. Healing, bringing wholeness, and loving them. But also challenging the evil in the world and in religious order itself.
“for a wide door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.”
1 Corinthians 16:9 ESV
When is an organism most vulnerable?
When it’s just a baby or a sprout.
A slack hand causes poverty,
but the hand of the diligent makes one rich.Proverbs 10:4 ESV
Maybe you’re like me and have been lazy a time (or twenty) in your life?
While we all have our moments, today’s verse puts our feet to the fire. It guides us to the mirror of self-reflection. It forces us to ask and answer this question, “Is laziness a regular pattern in my life?”
