So, You Want Nice Things

There is nothing wrong with wanting nice things. In the wanting, are you prepared to do what it takes for those things? They don’t just fall in your lap.

You could even have the most honorable desire to help other people but can’t ever see that come to fruition because of that stumbling block (laziness) you’ve allowed to creep into your life. We don’t like to hear it, but we are all lazy to an extent.

I can remember as a teen I would love to “sleep in” on Saturday mornings. Mom would come in my room and say, “Are you gonna sleep your life away Paula?” That seemed silly to me then, but it makes all the sense in the world now.

If we desire good things in our lives for ourselves and others, it takes more than the desire. It takes getting off our backside and doing the work.

Take a good look at today’s meme and decide not to get run over. Don’t just be on the right track, sitting around wanting things to happen in your life. Do the work it takes, otherwise all that thinking is for naught.

Proverbs 21:25 NLT

[25] Despite their desires, the lazy will come to ruin, for their hands refuse to work. #helpforyourdailywalk #paulaandthebible
