It was one of those mornings where I had to manage my time. Our church had plans to honor our pastor and the first lady with a dinner on the grounds to celebrate their anniversary. It was essential that, despite the time crunch, I prioritize meeting with the Lord first, as it is the most important part of my day. However, I must accurately calculate the time I need to bake a cake, frost it, and prepare a side dish that also needs to be baked and give myself enough time to get dressed and arrive at church on time. Getting up at 5 a.m. is not appealing, but it was the best option to complete everything on time. If I was slothful, I might have slept in and relied on a grocery store cake and an easier side item, but I love my church, and we all know that homemade food tastes better. As you can probably tell from the content, today’s lesson is about doing everything as if it were done unto the Lord and setting laziness aside to accomplish your tasks and commit to a purpose that is pleasing to God.

He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster. Proverbs 18:9
