We celebrate WORK today by having a holiday. Work, in this country, has yielded great rewards for many people individually and collectively. Freedom gives rise to opportunity and when combined with good work….varying levels of success and prosperity follow.
Work is ordained by God. Even in Eden, Adam was led to lead, to name the animals, to have and assert dominion. Work today, because of The Fall, has toil and suffering attached to it. If we partner with God in our work, the toil is lessened and blessing can come. God blessed us with gifts, talents and abilities. If your work involves using those, it can be enjoyable. Put your heart into your work. If you work for someone, honor them with your best effort – as Gods Word says – “as unto God”. Don’t cheat your work or any superior with less than your best. A “man in full” does not try to skirt by with minimum effort. A man does not do “just enough”. You would not teach your son that. If those before us did that we would not have the freedoms nor the comfort we have today. Maximize your effort. Seek better results. Aim higher. That is why today is a holiday…. Because Men before us did those three things. Terry Labor Day 2014
