Acts 24:25. Many of us have good excuses for not fulfilling God's purpose in our lives. For us that our ambitious or prosperous the best excuse is that doing God's purpose in our lives is not convenient. This is what happened when Felix, the Roman Governor, met with the Apostle Paul and received God's Word. Felix listened to Paul's words concerning righteousness, temperance, and the judgment to come, but Felix did not act on God's Word.

Proverbs 21:25. The definition of greed includes slothfulness. All day long a slothful person will greedily crave for the things that they desire, but they will not work for it. Their desires may only be for the basics of life, but they will not work for it (Proverbs 21:25, "The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour. He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not.") A slothful, greedy person kills himself by his lack of a work ethic. A slothful person will avoid work even if it is for his basic needs.
