Day 245: 9/2/13- Living the Proverbs Week: Day Seven       
New Thing: Banish Sloth Today!    
Inspiration: Women's Bible Study          
Time: All Day           
Bottom Line: Proverbs 19:15 “Laziness cast into a deep sleep, and an idle man will suffer hunger.”

Reflection: Today is the last day in our Proverbs week and our goal today will be to banish laziness. 
Day Seven: Banish Sloth Today!
Proverbs 19:15 “Laziness cast into a deep sleep, and an idle man will suffer hunger.”
Proverbs 15:19 “The way of the lazy is as a hedge of thorns, but the path of the upright is a highway.”
Suggested ways to live this out—

Prayer: Again, pray the prayer from the first day to help dedicate your day to service to our Lord. Look at your calendar and add at least three prayer times today (even if they are just for 5 mins. at a time) to be diligently keeping spiritual laziness away.

Mediation: Be busy is not the same thing as being active for God. Don’t mistake the to, after all, if you are to busy to pray you are busier then God created you to be.

Activity: “Think of a daunting project or an unpleasant task you would prefer to avoid. Break the job down into small tasks you can accomplish in one day or less and write those tasks on a calendar. Post the calendar where others can see your plan and view your progress. Trust me: this accountability will help.” Charles R. Swindoll

  
So, it should be pretty obvious which task I chose to tackle today. I was about 22 days behind on this blog. 22 days!! That was pretty daunting. As you have heard me say before, I love this exercise, but the blog can be tough. Yet, without the blog, I am less motivated to keep on task. Thus, getting behind can feel hard since there is just that much more to do. So, today was the day to not be idle any more! I wrote all 22 entries and am feeling much less unpleasantness! Huzzah!
