HARD WORKERS

Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth. He who gathers crops in summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son.
Prov 10:4-5

This is part of Will Smith's interview in Reader's Digest magazine:
- Do you get tired of pushing?
- Not yet. There is no pain worse than not achieving a dream when it's your own fault. If God did not want you to have it, that is one thing. But if you do not get what you desire because you are lazy, there is no pain worse than that.

There is one thing that we will never hear as Christians: "Christian life is easy", "You do not need to do anything, God will do it for you".

God is always looking for workers. We have all been endowed with certain gifts and talents which are helpless until we decide to develop them. As Christians we have been called to live as a family, purposeless if we do not make any effort to bear each other and becoming Christ-like; as the Body of Christ we are all members with a particular and very important task to build the church, useless if we do not do it on solid ground.

Summing up, it is a “planning-praying-doing matter”, on the way the Lord will undoubtedly manifest his will opening and closing doors, giving us signs through situations and people, but do not expect God to do everything, it is a teamwork.

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving”. Col 3:23-24
