God given task for workers
Today's Topic:
GOD-GIVEN TASK FOR WORKERS
Bible Reading:
Ecclesiastes 3:9-17, NLT:-
9 What does one really get from hard work?
10 I have thought about this in connection with all the various kinds of work God has given to mankind.
11 Everything is appropriate in its own time. But though God has planted eternity in the hearts of men, even so, many cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end.
12 So I conclude that, first, there is nothing better for a man than to be happy and to enjoy himself as long as he can;
13 and second, that he should eat and drink and enjoy the fruits of his labors, for these are gifts from God.
14 And I know this, that whatever God does is final—nothing can be added or taken from it; God’s purpose in this is that man should fear the all-powerful God.
15 Whatever is has been long ago; and whatever is going to be has been before; God brings to pass again what was in the distant past and disappeared.
16 Moreover, I notice that throughout the earth justice is giving way to crime, and even the police courts are corrupt.
17 I said to myself, “In due season God will judge everything man does, both good and bad.”
🔑 Key Verse:
“ I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it …”
- Ecclesiastes 3:14, NIV
The Message:
Work is central to the human sense of accomplishment. We wake up early every day; drive ourselves so hard to work more so we can achieve our goals and become more comfortable in life. The society values you based on how much money you have; how many houses and cars you own and how much money you have in your bank accounts. And many people tend to work so hard in other to acquire these things. But are these enough bases to have to work so hard?
Today’s passage underscores the fact that work is God-ordained; and that we are going to give account to Him as well as receive reward from Him. Much more than the immediate reward of comfort and accomplishment that we derive in working, we should work to please God, the one to whom we would give account of our labour on earth. Martin Luther King, Jnr. Once said, “Even if it fails your lot to be a street sweeper, go on out and sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures; sweep streets like Handel and Beethoven composed music; sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry; Go ahead; sweep streets so well that all the host of heaven and earth will have to pause and say, “Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well”.
Birthday Blessing:
“…I will take away sickness from among you…I will give you a full life span.”
- Exodus 23:26
Read Bible Through Passage:
Numbers 6; Psalms 40-41; Songs of Solomon 4; Hebrews 4.
Food for Thought:
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart as working for the Lord not for men”.
–The Bible
