Little known facts about Laziness #1

Lazy are good at risk assessment

Prov 22:13

The sluggard says there is a lion outside. I shall be killed in the streets!

Notice the sarcasm. Proverbs isn’t very gentle to the lazy.

Prov 26:13

The sluggard says “There is a loin in the road! There is a loin in the streets!”

Again about the lion in the road. The lazy guy sure is milking this lion excuse. This is repeated twice which is interesting. Some of the sharpest criticism in proverbs is directed toward the lazy.

Prov 20:4

The sluggard does not plow in autumn. He will seek out the harvest and have nothing.

At  least the excuse has changed here. The sluggard has moved on. The idea of autumn is that it’s a little cold or chilly. It’s just a little hard to do the work right now. Something to keep in mind, I might have to try it out next winter.

Proverbs paints a picture or holds up a mirror. This is what laziness looks like. We have a chance to look at it and consider if it’s us. What in our life might look like this.

Today, consider this picture. Do you see yourself?

More little known facts about laziness to come.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

On June 28, 2005, Lt. Murphy was the officer-in-charge of a four-man SEAL element in support of Operation Red Wing tasked with finding key anti-coalition militia commander in Afghanistan. Shortly after inserting into the objective area, the SEALs were spotted by three goat herders who were initially detained and then released. It is believed the goat herders immediately reported the SEALs’ presence to Taliban fighters.

A fierce gun battle ensued on the steep face of the mountain between the SEALs and a much larger enemy force. Despite the intensity of the firefight and suffering grave gunshot wounds himself, Murphy is credited with risking his own life to save the lives of his teammates.

By the end of a two-hour gunfight that careened through the hills and over cliffs, Murphy, Gunner’s Mate 2nd Class (SEAL) Danny Dietz and Sonar Technician 2nd Class (SEAL) Matthew Axelson had fallen. An estimated 35 Taliban were also dead.  The fourth SEAL, Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class (SEAL) Marcus Luttrell, was blasted over a ridge by a rocket-propelled grenade and knocked unconscious. Though severely wounded, the fourth SEAL and sole survivor, Luttrell, was able to evade the enemy for nearly a day; after which local nationals came to his aide, carrying him to a nearby village where they kept him for three more days. Luttrell was rescued by U.S. Forces on July 2, 2005.

Lt. Murphy was buried at Calverton National Cemetery less than 20 miles from his childhood home. Lt. Murphy’s other personal awards include the Purple Heart, Combat Action Ribbon, the Joint Service Commendation Medal, the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal, Afghanistan Campaign Ribbon and National Defense Service Medal.

Philippians 2:3-4 – Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.

Hebrews 13:16 – Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God
1 John 4:7 – Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.

John 13:34 – A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.

John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

Philippians 2:3-4 – Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Our words have power.  Specifically, as a father and as a husband, your words have more power than you can imagine. Your children, and mine, will grow up believing the words they hear us speak to them.

When it comes to the words you speak over your family – be gracious, be careful.

We can use this power irresponsibly…

Proverbs 12:18 – The words of the reckless pierce like swords

Proverbs 15:4 – a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.

Proverbs 11:17 – you destroy yourself when you are cruel.

…or we can use that awesome power to build-up, to create, to restore, to empower

Proverbs 16:24 – Kind words are like honey— sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.

Proverbs 11:17 – Your own soul is nourished when you are kind

Proverbs 12:18 – the tongue of the wise brings healing.

Proverbs 15:4 – Gentle words are a tree of life;

Proverbs 18:21 – The tongue has the power of life and death,

“Set a guard over my mouth, LORD; keep watch over the door of my lips.” (Psalm 141:3)

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
When your feeling tired, be inspired by this verse.
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.”

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

We say this in F3 – “leave no man behind – but leave no man where you found him“.  If you are striving to be a HIM, you will not be the same man next year that you were this year – because you are always growing, always be getting better.  This morning, we thought about which of the three Fs you will see growth in by the end of summer.

From Anders Ericsson’s book, “Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise”. To be excellent at something, you need…

  • …feedback. You need to be another man to know your plan, to see your work, and to provide you with feedback on your performance.

For the area that you are going to see growth in, what does “feedback” look like?

  • …to get outside of your comfort zone. Anders tells us this may be the most essential aspect of purposeful practice. He puts it directly: “If you never push yourself beyond your comfort zone, you will never improve.”

For the area that you are going to see growth in, what does “outside your comfort zone” look like?

A few men shared their goals and how they are going to pursue feedback.

MOLESKIN:

Team One with the dominating win!  Well done!
