The Significance Of Your Past
April 22, 2024
Never devalue the lessons learned from your past. They don’t define you, but they certainly inform you. The twin Benham entrepreneurs left professional baseball to be a salesman on a phone in a cubicle and a school janitor, hardly the professions they dreamed of after college and pro ball. But they credit their success to their work ethic, giving any task their best, including plunging toilets.
Work (unless God forbids it) is worthy. Period. Being diligent, honest, industrious will bring spiritual rewards. I Thessalonians 4: 11. We are not guaranteed large incomes, or applause for our work. We have no guarantee that we will be treated fairly. This is, after all the world.
Applause comes in Heaven for being obedient, honest in our effort, ethical in our behavior. God’s rewards are more valuable than anything here.
