Spiritual well being requires continual safeguarding. We need our spiritual food on a daily basis. To skip a day of walking with the Lord, is to have a day of spiritual deterioration. It is dangerous. When spiritual laziness continues and drags on for weeks, months and years, the result is a degeneration of our spiritual life. When that happens it is hard to even think of spiritual things.
Proverbs 18:9.
He who is slothful in his work is a brother to him who is a great destroyer.
Proverbs 19:15
Laziness casts one into a deep sleep, and an idle person will suffer hunger.
Romans 8:5-6.
For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
