Thought for Today: Shabbat August 09

The slothful person is like a piece of driftwood floating effortlessly and heedlessly downstream with the current. It takes no effort, and no strength to be lost. Likewise, a drifting slothful soul, is inevitably moving towards an eternity of destruction. The sin of doing nothing – the sin of omission – is just as dangerous as any sin of action – of commission. You do not have to do anything to be lost. Just do nothing and be a slothful soul. Tragically, thousands of believers are slothful also – when it comes to prayer, worship, Bible reading/study, spreading the Gospel, helping neighbours in need, or giving time to YHVH’s work.
