Greetings sisters!
Here is another day of His mercies for us to go forth in! The Lord has us here, as He is the giver and taker of life, so let us use the time and strength and abilities He gave us in good useful labours.
This scripture is encouraging to help press us on!
And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.Colossians 3:23-24
And here's a variety of scriptures that talk about idleness.
She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
Proverbs 31:27
By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.
Ecclesiastes 10:18
I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.
Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.
Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.
Proverbs 24:30-34
Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
Ezekiel 16:49
But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
Matthew 12:36
Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man,
Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.
But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;
Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.
And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.
I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
For some are already turned aside after Satan.
1 Timothy 5:9-15
There's good and bad examples in there for us. We want to choose the right way with His help!
And there are many practical ways to help us be diligent in the lives we have. I find writing notes down of things I need to do helps me to not forget them! And you can't get around doing them either because they stay on your list until done!
We need to press through the harder things we don't feel like doing too. Life isn't about doing what we feel like. That's living in the flesh then really isn't it. We just need to do what we should! Keep going in what you should where you are, sisters!
Hold fast to the truth!
Love to you in Christ our Saviour.
