"For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat." 2 Thessalonians 3:10
"The desire of the lazy man kills him, For his hands refuse to labor." Proverbs 21:25
"that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you," 1 Thessalonians 4:11
One of the Christian's responsibilities in following Christ is to have a new attitude toward work. So many young people want Christ without responsibility.
Jesus was not a drop-out. As a carpenter, He worked hard with His hands. The Apostle Paul made tents for a living while he carried on the work that God assigned him.
Whatever work a Christian does is done unto the Lord. He should do his best at whatever his trade or vocation. He should be faithful, clean, and honest.
Prayer: Thank You for teaching us that work is a blessing, Lord Jesus.
