We humans are all made with the need to rest, relax and put our feet up from time to time. It is a wise thing to rest when we need to. But laziness is a mind-set that promotes resting into a lifestyle. It wastes the life we have because it wastes the hours that make up our lives. If we love life, we will be sure not to squander time.

Squander carries the meaning of throwing something valuable away. Time is of great value. Proverbs 6:10-11 explains that a little slumber and folding of the hands results in poverty and need.

Treasure your time--rest when you need to and then get going.
