Sloth -- "Just forget about it!"
Genesis 1:1:
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Genesis 2:15:
The Lord God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over it.
Proverbs 6:6-11:
Take a lesson from the ants, you lazybones. Learn from their ways and become wise! Though they have no prince or governor or ruler to make them work, they labor hard all summer, gathering food for the winter. But you, lazybones, how long will you sleep? When will you wake up? A little extra sleep, a little more slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest – then poverty will pounce on you like a bandit; scarcity will attack you like an armed robber.
Proverbs 13:4:
Lazy people want much but get little, but those who work hard will prosper.
Proverbs 10:26:
Lazy people irritate their employers, like vinegar to the teeth or smoke in the eyes.
Proverbs 12:24:
Work hard and become a leader; be lazy and become a slave.
Romans 12:11:
Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically.
When tempted to "just forget about it:"
1. God works!
2. Work is good!
3. It's for your good!
4. You're working for God!
