~ Work Is Good ~

 

~ Quotes ~ “I have seen many people work without praying, though I have never seen any good come out of it.  But I have never seen a man pray without working.  There are three stages to every great work of God; First, it is impossible, then it is difficult, then it is done.” —J. Hudson Taylor

 

“In short, work — and lots of it — is an indispensable component in a meaningful human life. It is a supreme gift from God and one of the main things that gives our lives purpose. But it must play its proper role, subservient to God. It must regularly give way not just to work stoppage for bodily repair but also to joyful reception of the world and of ordinary life.” —Timothy Keller

 

~ Scripture ~ “Jesus said to them, ‘My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.  Do you not say, “There are still four months and then comes the harvest?” Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest’!” (John 4:34-35).

 

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord” (1 Corinthians 15:58).

 

“Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ” (Philippians 1:6).
