Everyday Wisdom | Proverbs 21:25-26 (part 2)
by Louis Sacran "The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour. He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not." Proverbs 21:25-26
Yesterday we noticed that our passage was comparing and contrasting the desires of the slothful and the righteous. Our primary focus was on the slothful, so today, I would like to look at the characteristics of the righteous. The description of the righteous is summed up in 2 Corinthians 9:7, as Paul speaks of the “cheerful giver”. The distinguishing difference between the slothful and the righteous is their focus. The righteous is focused on the good of others, while the slothful is completely focused on self. The righteous is pursuing God, and so he is striving to love the Lord his God with all of his heart, mind, soul and strength; and loving his neighbor as himself. A life that is fueled by the desire to give rather than to get is the difference we find here. The righteous, like Christ, do not live to be served, but rather to minister to others. Do you see yourself to be slothful? The solution is not that you should work harder, but that you should live your life in service to others, and stop focusing so much on pampering yourself.
