Lazy Bones
13
The lazy person claims, “There’s a lion on the road!
Yes, I’m sure there’s a lion out there!”
14
As a door swings back and forth on its hinges,
so the lazy person turns over in bed.

Lazy people take food in their hand
but don’t even lift it to their mouth.
Today's three verses highlight the problem of laziness, which is also one of the seven deadly sins. The verses even include some humor—like the image of someone running around, shouting about lions in the streets, which is similar to Chicken Little running around, saying the sky is falling. It also talks about how lazy a person can be if they grab food but don’t even bother to eat it!
Take a moment to think: Do you know anyone who avoids doing important things just to spend time on Facebook or Twitter? What about you? Is your phone always in your hand so you don’t miss out? Do you post prayers for a sick friend online instead of stopping by the store to grab something they actually need? Do you take funny selfies instead of visiting a friend who might be feeling lonely?
