Are You Wasteful?

 Proverbs 18:9 

He also that is slothful in his work 

is brother to him that is a great waster.

Yet another convicting Proverb this week.

I hate waste.

We eat leftovers.

We squeeze the toothpaste until it can't be squeezed any more.

We drain the old condiments into the new condiments

(I never thought I would do this when I was growing up).

I keep the trailer as cool as possible in the winter.

I hunt for coupons, sales, and coupon codes to save a buck or two.

But,

I tend to ignore my tendency to be slothful.

I tend to ignore the fact that I do not always choose 

the most profitable activities for my limited 24 hour day.

I tend to sacrifice the Best Activity to a Good Activity or even a Poor Activity.

I tend to waste time looking for "lazy ways" to finish hard jobs.

God sees it all as waste.

He has entrusted me with each day

Am I making the most of each moment?

or am I distracted by ease, pleasure, amusements?
