“Not Slothful In Business”



“Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;” (Romans 12:11)


“The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.” (Proverbs 13:4)


We all have desires. We all crave something. Whether we are content with the little we got or greedy for more, the point remains that we all want something. 


However often time, to acquire all we desire, we look to the other side of the scale. We focus on the goal mostly instead of the process. We focus on the dream so much that we forgot to sleep. We are sold on the vision that we don't even know how to get there. 


“Not slothful in business.” Let's look at this analogy: a basketball team. If the team wants to win a championship league, do they focus on the scoreboard or the team play? Most certainly, they focus on playing so well while the scoreboard and points take care of themselves. Similarly, in the words of a Genius, “you don't get results by focusing on results. You get results by focusing on the actions that produce results.”


Beloved, let's get to work and master our crafts. Let's not procrastinate or waste time building up ourselves. Delays in results aren't a denial of them but if you fail to work, what result would you expect?


I wish you a highly productive week!
