My post advises the sluggard to seek God out for the agenda . . .

God has already posted His agenda, and that is for the able sluggard to get up off his a## and start energetically doing the things to earn his keep that every other able occupant of this globe has to do, Christian or not.

"In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return" (Gen. 3:19).

Or do you want to see people try to cheat like Ananias and Sapphira? Or like the prodigal son who sponged off everybody, even his father, and didn't come to his senses until his pals quit putting up with his mendacity, eh? When he reached sanity and humility, His father rejoiced at his return, and the Savior commended him. But only then. That's when God multiplies the benefit of one's diligence.

Nonsense. What God wants us to do is seek him out in prayer, make our requests known to him and let him guide us with his agenda. Then we act when God reveals to us what he wants us to do. If the sluggard needs work then he asks God in prayer and lets God work in the situation to provide the work, and the sluggard acts on what God provides for him. If the sluggard wants to do works for God then he asks God, and God will reveal specifically what he wants him to do.

“but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.”

“But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God”
