It was a long day today. Up by 6:00 AM, working at 8:00 and getting home after 10:00 PM... I'm tired and ready for the day to be over. However, it was good to work throughout the day and into the evening. It always feels great coming out of a period of hard work. The rest that follows is earned- it just feels right.
Believe me, I've been battling laziness for a while, both personally and professionally and this work day has helped me remember that although it's tempting to just do enough to get by, the reward for working hard and doing well is worth the effort. We're supposed to work. God designed work for us before the fall of man!
Genesis 2:15 (New International Version)
The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.
Proverbs 6:6 (New International Version)
Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise!
Proverbs 13:4 (New International Version)
The sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied.
Good Night
