The 12:30 - Heart, Mind, Soul, Strength Posted on by

This is The Daily for Tue, Oct 20, 2026 and it’s International Sloth Day!

The sloth is my favorite animal, however, we do get a Biblical warning about being “slothful.”

Romans 12:11 
Never be lazy (or slothful), but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically.

Think: How do I treat my relationship with God? Do I work hard and have enthusiasm? Or do I treat it more like a chore I have to do and dread it? 

How you think about this and approach it matters. The Creator of the universe sacrificed Himself so I could spend eternity with Him. He blesses me when I don’t deserve it. 

How could I not work hard? How could I not be enthusiastic? Check yourself on this International Sloth Day.

25 At that time Jesus prayed this prayer: “O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank you for hiding these things from those who think themselves wise and clever, and for revealing them to the childlike.

26 Yes, Father, it pleased you to do it this way!

7 As for me, I look to the Lord for help. I wait confidently for God to save me, and my God will certainly hear me.

8 Do not gloat over me, my enemies! For though I fall, I will rise again. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light.

10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

James 1:9-11

9 Believers who are poor have something to boast about, for God has honored them.

10 And those who are rich should boast that God has humbled them. They will fade away like a little flower in the field.

11 The hot sun rises and the grass withers; the little flower droops and falls, and its beauty fades away. In the same way, the rich will fade away with all of their achievements.
