Proverbs 26: 14 ” As a door turns on its hinges, so a sluggard turns on his bed.”

According to the dictionary, the word sluggard means a slow or lazy person.  But the term lazy can mean much more than just not wanting to work.  We may be a sluggard towards daily time in God’s Word…preferring rather  to mindlessly scroll our phones.  We may be a lax sluggard,  who acknowledges God’s plan and purpose in our lives…but prefers the comfort of our recliner and Media Center more.  A sluggard is doomed to poverty so the Proverb says…destitute in both material and spiritual things.
