I went past the field of the sluggard, past the vineyard of the man who lacks judgment; thorns had come up everywhere, the ground was covered with weeds, and the stone wall was in ruins. I applied my heart to what I observed and learned a lesson from what I saw: A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest-- and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man.
Proverbs 24:30-34
One good thing that my father instilled in me from the time I was a child was to always have a strong work ethic. I can’t ever remember my father staying home sick from work, coming home early or leaving late. As a result, I have tried to maintain the same work ethic throughout my professional career and it has paid big dividends. I am not the smartest guy in the world and I don’t really have any exceptional talents or abilities that would enable me to rise above my competitors. The thing that I do have outside of the Spirit of God living inside of me is a commitment to work every day as I am working for the Lord and this alone has enabled me to excel in this fast paced business world in which we live. So, with this in mind, work today and every day as if you are working for the Lord, no matter what your occupation. Whether you are a stay at home mom, a full time student or a business professional; if you give 100% to the work that you are doing then your work will be honored by God and He will be glorified in and through your life and you life will be richly blessed.
