Always Stuck

Proverbs 15:19 says, “The way of the lazy man is like a hedge of thorns, but the way of the upright is a highway.”
I remember in my earlier years I enjoyed hunting. Actually, I enjoyed being outside with friends, tromping through the woods and shooting my gun. I really didn’t care whether I shot any game. We had just as much fun throwing our hats into the air and filling them full with birdshot. One thing I always avoided on those outings was briar-thickets. I didn’t have a pair of those hunting pants with the special coating on the front that fended off all but the nastiest of thorns. I painfully learned that once you walked into a thorny patch things quickly came to a halt. Scripture says that the speed of a lazy person looks like me in that briar patch. In comparison, the upright, or the person who carries on as they should, moves along as if they were on a four lane highway. We all have bad days, but if you find yourself always behind, always bogged down, and you see life passing you by, maybe, just maybe you might be lazy.
