Cleaning Out The Excess in Our Bodies-Part 4

We will be of no use for the Lord, our families, or others if we allow laziness to consume us.

"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?
10 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 6:6-11

Maybe for some of us our biggest excess comes from our laziness. 

When we are lazy, it shows in our bodies, our homes, our attitudes, our jobs, etc.

Do you need to clean up the excess laziness has caused? 

If so, let this passage motivate you to get up, to take control, and to be useful, active, and productive for Jesus, your family and others.
