DILIGENCE

DILIGENCE

2 Timothy 2:14-19 NKJV

Devotional:- "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth". (V. 15)

    Laziness is a sign of irresponsibility. To be lazy the person always dodges responsibility and not willing to take a task. A lazy person will have to tell lies sometimes. Many times he or she will have to pretend. Always looking for how to manipulate and turn responsibilities away from his or herself. Such people are always excited only when there is fun. Their definition of fun is idleness.

If you are lazy you cannot be a true believer. There are too many things we accommodate in the name of church. To be lazy means you are not growing in the Lord. The spirit of God is a diligent Spirit. If people in your office or fellowship are always complaining about you, even God will also complain. God hate laziness and irresponsibility, God wants his children to be diligent (1 Thessalonians 4:11-12).

Friend, to be a true believer you must be diligent and love to work. Don’t be pulling it down when others are pushing it up. Don’t be cold; be hot in the office or in the House of the Lord (Revelation 3:15-16). Don’t let your home be like a rat house. Put in your best to whatever you are doing. Be a good representative of Christ.

Prayer: Lord, give me a diligent spirit.

“Diligence makes you a shining example of Christ”
