Its amazing that many people live for the weekend. Others are working for retirement benefits without any love for their jobs. Les Brown once made a statement that many of the heart attacks that happen to people occurs on their way to work. Seeing they don't like love what they do, their hearts attacks them.
When you look through the Internet as weekend approaches there is a sense of happiness that overflows. On Fridays you see hashtags like TGIF. Surprisingly, you never come across TGIM, that's Thank God Its Monday. Why aren't we grateful for Mondays? Monday signifies showing up for work and attending to your responsibilities. The attitude of loving rest more than work deprives you of releasing your potential. In the beginning it was not so, in Genesis it is written "And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it" . Work was given to man in the beginning it was man's duty to work the garden.
Someone said Laziness is simply the habit of resting before one get tired. When God gave the Law he said "Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work". In other words, man was supposed to work more than he rests. You can do the maths, if you slept and rested from work 10 hours a day how many years would you have wanted over a life time? Life is too short to spend it resting everytime. Work is the path way to releasing potential and making a difference in your world. God worked, Jesus worked, you must take after your maker. This and many more are some of the insights I shared in my book titled TAKE UP YOUR BED.
No more folding of hand to sleep and procrastinating. Embrace a Work life style today. This has nothing to do with having a Job or not. When I returned from Service and even before then, I often had a weekly to-do list and I still had one for last week. Truth is, any one who walks in purpose cannot be stranded.
Central Truth: Work is the channel to releasing your potential.
FOCUS SCRIPTURE: Genesis 2:15, Deut 5:13
Prayer:
LORD, I receive grace to be diligent in business and not to embrace a life of laziness in Jesus Name. AMEN
