The Slacker (Prov 26:13-16)

Each of these four verses tells us something about the slacker.

1. The slacker is great at identifying problems, but he offers no solutions. He's not willing to be the solution. If there's a lion outside, it's dangerous and hungry. To avoid being eaten or terrorized by the lion, someone must kill it or at least drive it away. At best the slacker sounds an alarm. He then lets others deal with the lions.
2. The slacker lives to sleep. A door won't work without hinges. The hinges are what makes a door a door. A slacker can't exist without his bed. Sleep keeps a slacker a slacker. He rolls over when he ought to be up and working. He rolls over and over, long after everyone else is at work. By sleeping, he's letting others do all the work.
3. The slacker is a high maintenance, low impact person. He is lethargic, using all his strength just to get to the table. He has no sustained strength to feed himself. Can you say, "Immaturity"?
4. The slacker is a know-it-all. He is wiser than the wise, wiser than those who have lived through it already. He doesn't have a teachable spirit and refuses to learn new skills.
