Seven Deadly Sins - Sloth

The last of the "seven deadly sins" is sloth.

To me, sloth is laziness. What is the full definition?

It is "habitual disinclination to exertion; indolence; laziness" (Dictionary).

Yep. Laziness. We all have moments of laziness. I certainly do. I don't think it's wrong to have moments where we don't want to do anything. Making it a habit, or a lifestyle, however, would be bad.

What does The Bible say about sloth?

Proverbs 19:15 - Laziness brings on deep sleep, and the shiftless go hungry.

Proverbs 12:24 - Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in forced labor.

If you do the work on your own, you're the one in charge of the work, but if you put it off until the last minute, you no longer have a choice, and the work rules you.

Ecclesiastes 10:18 - Through laziness, the rafters sag; because of idle hands, the house leaks.

So, having moments when we want to be lazy is okay, but it's important to make the work we have to do a priority so that laziness doesn't become a habit. It's a hard one to break.
