Ezekiel 19, Ezekiel 20: 1-44, Hebrews 10: 1-18, Proverbs 14: 15-24
Proverbs 14: 23 (ESV)
“In all toil there is profit, but mere talk tends only to
poverty.”
Verse 23 from Proverbs 14 stood out to me today. It might
not seem like it sometimes, but I do believe that in all hard work there is some
kind of profit. Most of the time that profit is financial, but sometimes there
are rewards as well. I’ve always liked jobs where I was so busy that the day
just flew by, and by the you know it was time to go home. Some people have said
that hard work also builds character because you can see just what you are made
of if you are made to work hard. There is also at times a sense of satisfaction
when you work hard, and you see your work come to life. Even if it’s just
planning an event which takes a lot of hard work, to see all of your plans come
out exactly as you wanted is such an amazing experience. By the same token if
you just talk about doing something and never do it, then there will not be a
financial reward or satisfaction. You never get to see the dream you had in your
heard work out and take shape in real life. You never get to see your idea
become a reality and think, wow I thought that up. Or I built that thing or I planned this amazing event
and it worked and made everyone happy.
