“Earn all you can, give all you can, save all you can!” – John Wesley
Genesis 2:15 NIV
The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.
Work was created by God
as a resource for mankind to enjoy!
Ecclesiastes 5:18-19 NASB
Here is what I have seen to be good and fitting: to eat, to drink and enjoy oneself in all one’s labor in which he toils under the sun during the few years of his life which God has given him; for this is his reward. Furthermore, as for every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, He has also empowered him to eat from them and to receive his reward and rejoice in his labor; this is the gift of God.
“Work becomes worship when you dedicate it to God and perform it with an awareness of his presence.” – Rick Warren
Ephesians 6:5-8 NLT
Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. Try to please them all the time, not just when they are watching you. As slaves of Christ, do the will of God with all your heart. Work with enthusiasm, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will reward each one of us for the good we do, whether we are slaves or free.
