A
reminder for today
Take
a lesson from the ants, you lazybones. Learn from their ways and become wise!
Though they have no prince or governor or ruler to make them work, they labour
hard all summer, gathering food for the winter. (Proverbs 6:6-7)
Hard work has never killed anyone (Mom used to say that
often). Every time I stare at the amount of work that still awaits me I can’t
help but to think of these words in Genesis 3 - By the sweat of your brow will you have food to eat until you return
to the ground from which you were made. For you were made from dust, and to
dust you will return. To have work is a blessing and a huge privilege,
especially in today’s world. To me my work is my gift to the Lord for being
blessed with so many amazing talents. What we do, we do for His glory and when
we do it we should remember that. To be lazy is the worst thing you can ever
be. I believe that in all we want to accomplish it is only our mind that hampers
us. My dad always said “If you put your mind to it, you can
accomplish anything” and I believe that we should have that attitude in
everything we do. When I walk into the gym at quarter to five in the mornings I
know that the only thing that will hold me back is my mind and when I train I train
harder than anyone else, because what I do, I do for Him. When I work I work
and I carry on until it is done. I do it for Him. When we truly love Him, you will
see it in everything we do - In our eyes, in our voices, in our work, in our
bodies and in our relationships.
But
you, lazybones, how long will you sleep? When will you wake up? A little extra
sleep, a little more slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—then
poverty will pounce on you like a bandit; scarcity will attack you like an
armed robber(Verses 9-11)
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus
