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.

CloseIn the 18th century, John Newton was another businessman involved in the slave trade. For forty years, he trafficked, sold, and stole other humans to make a profit. Then, he spent the last 20 years of his life passing legislation to outlaw slavery in England. He marked that transition by writing the hymn "Amazing Grace," which not only speaks to his enormous turnaround, but ours as well. When we identify the opportunity for redemption and hope that is staring us right in the face -- and act on it -- grace is no less amazing for us.
