Work
May 29, 2018
I’m Miriam Neff-with STARTING OVER FINANCIALLY, and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, and we’re here to talk about money
M God directs us to work. In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve were told to ‘subdue the earth.’ That means work. Old Testament and New, don’t be idle II Thessalonians 3: 6. Verse 12 earn your own living–quietly.
V Why do we need continual reminders of this? Human nature can become lazy, make excuses, avoid personal responsibility.
We are not admonished to become rich, though work might result in that. We are told to provide for our families. Modest is fine. Hard times do come to some. Another benefit of working and saving means we can give a helping hand to those in need.
M Thank God that you are able to work.
