WORK HARD
All over world, the issue of work, creativity and productivity is not taken with levity. To be candid, the entire creation process a vivid epitome of work. The scripture says in Gen. 2:2 "And on the seventh day, God ended his work which he had made".
The book of wisdom has an advice for the indolent as written in Prov. 6:6 "Go to the ant thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise". In 2 Thess. 3:10, Apostle Paul further commented on the significance of work. Surprisingly, many people are neither ready to use their hands nor earn their daily living. Instead, a lot of people have turned themselves to "hangers-on", armed robbers or pen robbers. The rhetorical question is how do you handle the work or task committed to your care?
Are you a worker? do you serve faithfully and diligently?. No work done shall go unrewarded.
Don't work to please men but labor to please God and satisfy your deeds. You work hard, i mean hard to succeed.
Work is the antidote to poverty
This is a very timely article. The bible also admonishes us in Ephesians 4:28 that "Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth."
Indeed. There is wisdom in God's precepts. Think, if we as a society were caused by His grace, to be more mindful of this, things would go well for us. May we give prayer attention to this.
2 Thessalonians 3:10
For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
