He references 2 Peter 1:
5 For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge,
6 and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness,
7 and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love.
I know I've been extremely slothful in many godly virtues for many years, at the same time though wanting to grow spiritually!?!
Doing nothing while wanting God to do something seems to be the folly he's targetting.
But what do you think? Is there a balance to this, or a tension to hold together with this? Or should I just face up to my own lack of effort?
