Build the bedrock. Truth, character, and the disciplines that hold a man upright when the ground shifts.
Work Is Not a Curse
The world tells you work is something to escape. This is a lie straight from the enemy of your soul. Work is not a curse. Work is a calling. It is the first thing God gave man in the garden.
“ The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.”
Genesis 2:15“ Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.”
Colossians 3:23What Work Actually Is
Work is how a man provides for his family. When a man goes to work and does his job with excellence, he is not taking a break from serving God. He is serving God.
Work is how a man earns the right to lead. A man who does not work has no authority in his home.
“ Work is one of the three great sources of meaning in life, along with love and God. A man who does not work will never be happy. He cannot be. He was not made to be.”
Dennis PragerDo It We'll or Don't Do It
A man does not do shoddy work. Ever. Whether you are running a company, laying concrete, driving a truck, or writing software, the standard is the same: excellence.
“ Do you see someone skilled in their work? They will serve before kings; they will not serve before officials of low rank.”
Proverbs 22:29Work Hard, Then Rest
God did not just command work. He commanded rest. Rest is not laziness. Rest is obedience. A man who works hard and rests we'll is a man who lasts.
“ Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
Matthew 11:28
