Bible Summary. A lazy person's lifestyle is so busy doing nothing that they have no time to do anything. Lazy people are irritating because they do not pull their own weight. Lazy people live off their wealth or the wealth of other and they provide no value. They are prideful and lazy and do not have time for others or for God.

Ezekiel 16:49. The Bible tells us that prideful people are lazy people. In Ezekiel 16:49, God says, “Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.” Here God is talking about the city of Sodom.

Proverbs 10:26. Lazy people do not have many friends because lazy people are irritating. True friendship consists of a loving relationship. True friends give freely of themselves because they want to and not just to get something in return. Lazy people are not givers. They are freeloaders and takers.

Proverbs 6:10. Have you ever noticed, lazy people have a busy life style. Even though lazy people do absolutely nothing, their schedule is always full doing absolutely nothing. Proverbs 6:10 talks about lazy people. It says, “Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:” Here the Bible describes a lazy person's busy schedule.

Summary. The Bible tells us to not make consumption the center of our lives. We need to be focused on giving of ourselves, both materially and spiritually, instead of being obsessed with consuming things. We are suppose to balance our use of God's resources to bring increase and at the same time preserve God's resources for His future purposes and future generations.

Mark 4:19. Our consumer society is choking the Word of God.

2 Thessalonians 3:10-13. The Bible has many scriptures that someone can use to support or refute wealth distribution in a given society. On the one hand, the Bible tells us to give to the needy. Then on the other hand, the Bible tells us that if you do not work you do not eat (2 Thessalonians 3:10). 2 Thessalonians 3:10-13 resolves this conflict.

Jeremiah 1:6. God is calling all of us, but most of us think we are not ready to fulfill God's purpose in our lives. Instead of answering God's call, we will give what we think is a good excuse to not fulfill our calling. This is what Jeremiah, the prophet, did when he told God that he was not ready when God called him. In Jeremiah 1:6 Jeremiah told God “...
