Summer Blues ...

Hey guys,

So it's summer . and I feel absolutely terrible to say that I although inexcusably have caught the summer-teenage-bug of LAZINESS.
Thats right,
I said it.
Now everyone has different extents of this and it can mean very different things to different people. - I would never be allowed to spend a morning in bed post 9AM. And I've been on holiday, seen friends blah blah blah.
But...
Everyone has a personal knowledge,that despite the exterior 'busyness'- you know if you've been using your time wisely . More importantly you know when you have not.
Being proactive in your daily lifestyle is a choice, that turns into a way of life. But its those initial steps of deciding you want more out of your day that really make it happen for you.
And the funny thing is : It's a Biblical concept.

Scriptures could not be more clear on the valid sin called : 'idleness' and its something that isn't focused on enough in our minds because mentally we tend to put serious sins into one category, and the other sins into another- but truthfully all sin keeps you away from God.
Titus 2'12 says that we should live 'self-controlled, upright and Godly lives'. And laziness is the complete opposite of all of those things. Sometimes (and I've seen this recently) the body just wants to lay down on the sofa and do nothing, lie in bed all-day and occasionally get up for crisps.

WELL ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
There is something brutally wrong when generations senior to us can do more for the Kingdom of God physically than we can.
We are told as youth to bear the yoke of God's discipline in our lives. LAMENTATIONS3'27
So I'm here to say to you and myself; condition yourselves. Stir up the gift [2TIM1'6] that God has created for you to posses, reach out and use it to impact one more life for God - He deserves every inch of our lives, lets make it a life that He wants.

We need to be diligent people who can take the work of ourlives , the work that God has provided for us to do, and present it to God as something of great value and worth. A work that we do not need to be ashamed of . [2TIM2'15]

Run , and run fast so that you will be the one to obtain the prize.
