Why work?
- To pay the rent
- To change the world for the better
- Somebody’s gotta do it
Our culture sends the message that not having to work is great—retiring early, inheriting a fortune, winning the lottery, paying someone else to do our work. God has a different take:
Genesis 2:25 (ESV)
The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it.
We are created to work.
Ecclesiastes 9:10
Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might.
We are created to work enthusiastically.
