About work...
"Of the gold, the silver, and the bronze and the iron, there is no limit. Arise and work, and may the Lord be with you." -- 1 Chronicles 22:16
"He who gathers in the summer is a son who acts wisely, but he who sleeps in harvest is a son who acts shamefully." -- Proverbs 10:5
"He who tills his land will have plenty of bread, but he who pursues vain things lacks sense." -- Proverbs 12:11
"Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men." -- Collossians 3:22.
What do these scriptures mean to me? Well, to me it is quite clear: when it's time to work, you work! Because that work is for God and not for man. If you are a teacher, then give it 100%! A preacher, give it 100%!
But what if you are in sales? Give it 100%! Business owners? Give it 100%! When it is time to work, you work!
Take this appropriately: when it is not time to work, then guess what: don't work! Pretty simple, right?
With all this, what do you thing God thinks of working a 40 hour week?
