A while back, we were
in a group that went through the "Truth Project". A DVD study produced by Focus on the Family that discussed God's truth on many subjects and how the world has perverted that truth. One lesson was on work/labor. The world tells us that work is a drudgery..... something we have to do until we can retire. But, the truth is that God ordained work..."if anyone is not willing to work, then let him not eat" II Thess.3:10. And "do not forsake the work of your hands" Ps 138:8. So, the opportunity to work is a privilege, the ability to work is a gift, and the reward we get from work is God's provision in our life.I wonder how different our work place (whether that be in the home or out of it) would be if we all had that mindset. Perhaps we would be more grateful and work in a way that brings glory to the One who provides the work and enables us to do it.
"Whatever your hands find to do, do it with all your might...." Ecc. 9:10
You are so right!!! Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to read that you went through this DVD series. We are going through it right now at church and I personally think it is one of the best series that I have ever seen. This work message spoke to me when I saw it, because my grandma quoted it so often to all of us..."whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might." She taught us by example. I love that you went through this too. I find myself really looking forward to each session.
