Would you consider yourself lazy?
Of course not. What a silly (and possibly offensive question). We pride ourselves on being go-getters, do-gooders, efficient-yet-not-annoying hard workers that are ready to change the world!
And then, there’s the sloth. Solomon has a lot to say about him — he’s referenced nearly 14 times in Proverbs alone.
It should surprise no one that the sloth’s approach to life is just a little bit different than God’s.

CloseBe honest: Does it really feel like Jesus' yoke is "easy" and His burden "light" (Matthew 11:28-30)? Some of the time, it feels quite the opposite. Even if there is plenty of hope and grace, God's plan of salvation is fraught with temptations, and difficulties. It makes it hard for us to really "be excited" about living a life filled with so many challenges. And yet, 1 John 5:3 says that true obedience is when following His commandments are "not burdensome." How are we supposed to do that? How do we get to a point where His commandments are not only "not burdensome," but a delight for us to perform? Answer: Full and total commitment to His Word.
