    Laziness is also a sin because we take what God has blessed us with for granted. There are people who would do anything to go to school, to have a job, to have a home to take care. Yet we that already have these blessings we take them for granted which results in ungratefulness.

    Laziness connects to lust in that we lack stewardship of our urges and the diligence and patience to wait for whom God has for us. Laziness in that we desire instant gratification versus operating with perseverance.

    Thank you so much for this. As a senior in high school every single one of my days is filled with work, school, sports, and worry abt college and future experiences. I am so tired that I can complete all those things in a day but rarely find time to read my Bible or study the word. I am tired of wasting the time God gives me to spend with him. Thank you so much for helping me realize this! My goal is to spend time with God in the breaks of my day like the ten minutes in the morning before I leave for school, the class hours I have nothing to do. Thank you God for bringing this word to me through your disciple, Amen.

    Getting ate up like this isn't fun, but God knows I need it LOL 😭 I've watched so many "stop being lazy!" videos that camp on building 15 different habits starting at 4am that I just can't keep up with especially in this day and age. But this was so convicting, because it's based in Word. Besides other valid reasons for not being able to do certain activities or wanting more time to do them, arrogance is a LOT of it. I arrogantly say "I'll start this Monday" as if that Monday is really promised. I'd then spend my time rotting in bed 😭
    Another aspect I'd like to bring is, God also knows my heart! If He knows my schedule is packed a certain week, if He knows my stresses, He can also make a way for that Monday! He sustains, He is our daily bread, He will make a way fit if He so chooses. Even through my mental illness, He still loves me and wants the best for me and all of you. God bless xx 🤍

    I've never watched your videos, in fact I rarely use TH-cam. I was doing my homework which required me to watch a TH-cam video, and when I was done I decided to just look at my feed, and lo and behold, this video. Truly from God. I have some medical and mental health issues that make me extremely tired and they are something I will deal with for the rest of my life. It's led me to laziness. Sometimes I have no desire to do anything, but seeing this video really changed my perspective on things. I'm asking God to protect me, and give me more time in life, but here I am not appreciating it by using it to my best ability...
    I truly needed this video, so thank you.

    In regards to one of the comments you made - I’ve been thinking about laziness and its relation with lust recently. I’ve found that laziness/procrastination can lead to boredom, a wandering mind, consuming content that is not appropriate, etc. A lot of times this will lead to lust or any sexual sin. Thank you for the reminder to appreciate what God has gifted us.

I said i have been lazy and i know you will help me, give me strength and wisdom to be able to overcome this, since laziness is something i always have struggled with. Something told me to erase social media on my phone and since i had nothing to do, i said “let me watch video”. And i came across this video. It’s incredible.

  • @bridgettejowers7228
    @bridgettejowers7228 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

    I think the old saying "idle hands are the devils workshop" is so spot on. The reason the devil can talk you into things when you are idle is because your mind isnt on anything. He can fully torment you and talk you into sin when your brain is "off". If you are lazy and just sit around all the time, your mind is off and you can also fall into depression that way. And lust can go back to laziness because if you are sitting there doing nothing with your phone in your hand, it is easy to turn to porn. This is a good message brother it has been on my mind lately too.

  • @Peachyroooo
    @Peachyroooo 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +193

    Just a reminder for anyone that needs it: Being unproductive doesn't necessarily mean you're arrogant and lazy. There can be other factors getting in the way of your ability to get up and go - things that aren't automatically solved by just being grateful. Depression, ADHD, chronic illness, grief, etc. can get in the way. Personally what motivates me to overcome my inactivity is knowing God loves me intimately and is excited to see what I will do in my life - that it brings him joy to watch me and that it's wonderful to produce work while having it in mind that I get to share it with him and that he is pleased with it like a parent would be of their child's drawing on the fridge. Meaning, we don't need to earn his love through work, but he loves seeing what we do.

It puts perspective on where I want and need to be to align my life with the Gospel!! Not all of His word will have you feeling happy and uplifted, sometimes I feel guilty and called out, but that’s when I ask for forgiveness and repent!!! Much love for you on your path with Christ ❤

    💗 NOTES I GOT FROM THIS BEAUTIFUL VIDEO : -
    ~ ~ ~
    .Make the most out of every opportunity. Don't be lazy and waste your time
    . Do not boast about the next day for who knows if there is a next day. Do not say "I will do this tomorrow" but say "IF God Wills-"
    . Use your days wisely Every Hour is a Gift so use it. Some people don't do anything because they're lazy causing them to lose it.
    .Having Gratitude helps us to overcome it. It makes us humble and thank him and rejoice in him makes us grateful for this day and gives us motivation to use it wisely.
    .Being lazy is a sin cause your procrastinating a opportunity you think you might get again.

I found that when you spoke about this topic or when this video began, it's almost as if my Spirit took over and helped me listen to it because I needed to. To reveal things through what you are saying about my personal way of life. This was a fantastic topic and video and I'm sure it will help me become a better followed of God because of it. Amen. 🙏

    5:58 laziness can be traced back to lust because lust is not waiting and being diligent till marriage and also when you aren’t doing what your supposed to do you end losing purpose and a man without purpose often fills the void with pleasure

    Parable of Talents helped me a lot, remember how confused i was with my path and randomly one day i was in the bus and a video came up about the parable. Sometimes i fear to do a step but knowing Holy Spirit put me on this road for a reason i feel greatful! Tomorrow is important day in my life, first day of internship which will last few weeks, if i succeed i will get the first job in my life and most importantly with my profession, pray for me 🙏🏻
    Thanks for the video and the reminder about the talents we are given from the Holy Spirit, Amen.

    Thank you for this message. 🙏🏼
    It made me realize how evil TikTok, reels, shorts, and social media in general are because they feed off of our time and attention. When I had TikTok, I could easily spend 3-6 hours SCROLLING through pointless videos just trying to catch a dopamine fix. It was too easy to get stuck in, difficult to pull away from and I remember feeling frustrated and tired all day, unable to get anything productive done. I saved so much precious time deleting and deactivating most of my social accounts, I keep TH-cam for videos like yours but that’s about it at this point. Thank you again for sharing this, I really needed to hear this word!

      This is so real 😭 I struggle so much with the same thing and end up hating myself with a passion afterwards every time I go down one of these "revenge bedtime procrastination" spirals. And then it flows onto the next day where I'm tired, irritable and impatient because of my own bad choices. God help us overcome this affliction/addiction. 🙏🏼

    As Braxten’s former employer, he without a doubt practices what he preaches. Many times would he ask for extra hours and unlike many employees who would literally sit on their phone and expect to get paid, he worked incredibly hard without wavering even when things were stressful.

    fun fact about the ants: there are actually types of ants that collect fungi from plants, carry it back to their colonies, and grow the fungi in little 'farms' to use as food. I'm a bio major and I LOVE learning things like that because it convinces me more and more how beautifully our Creator designed the earth.

    This was exactly what I needed. I've been struggling with laziness for a while now, and I kept getting frustrated with myself for procrastinating. I prayed for God to help me to no avail, but I realise that God has already provided all I need to work hard. Everyday I wake up I remember that God has chosen me, like so many people died but God chose to wake me up today which means I have a God given purpose for each day. Thanks for the word, God bless

    - It’s irrigate to think that you’re going to do things tomorrow. The better way is to think if it’s God will to do it
    - laziness and procrastination is a sin, because it’s assuming God will give you another time to do something.
    - Humble yourself, God has given you 12hrs a day to do what you need to do everyday.
    - Time is a gift, God doesn’t owe you anything. Use your time wisely, don’t waste the time that God has given you.
    - Be grateful for the time God has given you, this is the true way to get over laziness.
    - Be humiliated. You must not waste the gift of time that God has given you.
    - Gratitude and being humble is the true way to get over laziness.

    Arrogance has such a harsh picture because we rarely hear that word - but the Bible definitely tells us how foundational pride is to all other sins (Lucifer in Isaiah 14, the pride of life in 1 John 2)
    Whoever wants to become great must become a servant. Just like Christ, the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many. (Mark 10)
    So good. I like the framing of this. Gratitude does help us find more energy.

    I think you can link laziness with lust; like the quote 'idle hands are the devil's playthings'. Personally, if I oversleep or am not doing anything productive, I can fall into lust out of boredom. So you are so right it is all linked.
