The Sluggard and the Malicious
Date: Jun. 16, 2017
Daily Bread
Key Verse: 26:24
1. The sluggard has his own justification (13-16)
There's a lion on the road! Yes, I am sure. A lion is out there!" The sluggard finds the strangest excuses for doing nothing. He turns on his bed as a door turns on its hinges. He takes food in his hand, but does not lift it to his mouth. He still thinks he is smarter than any other wise men.
2. The malicious man disguises himself (17-28)
The malicious man meddles in someone else's argument. He lies to a friend then says, "I was only joking." He gossips and spreads quarrels. He speaks flattering words, but his heart is full of many evils. His wrongdoing will be exposed in public. He will fall in his own pit.
Prayer: Lord, save me from becoming a sluggard and a malicious man by the blood of Jesus.
One Word: Work hard for the glory of God
