BIBLICAL STUDIES about WORK

From the beginning, man has already a lot of responsibilities ( Genesis ). He received the order to work the garden & to take care of it ( Genesis 2 : 15 ) = " The Lord God took the man & put him in the Garden of Eden to work it & take care of it ". So we must work ! Tiredness and sufferances came after ( Genesis 3 : 17b ) = " ... Cursed is the ground because of you, man, through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life ... ".

X is a Personnel Manager for a big multinational company. He is 50 years old & people respect him and envy his position. He is clever at business & he knows his job, but he realizes that he has forgotten something very important to be really happy : he has forgotten his family & his spiritual value. He thinks that he has worked hard & he has done much works, but he has never been truly happy. How to have success & to be always carefree at the same time ? It's not to try to work hard, it's not to try to work with a strong will, it's just to receive the Grace of God. " Meaningless ! Meaningless ! " Says the Teacher. " Completely meaningless ! Everything is meaningless ! " What does man gain from all his hard work at which he toils under the sun ? ( Solomon - Ecclesiastes 1 : 2, 3 ) ( The Good Seed - 2003 )

All this will not be finished in the first 100 days. Nor will it be finished in the first 1000 days,
Nor in the life of this Administration, nor even perhaps
in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin !
( John Fitzgerald Kennedy )

 

 

You can not build easily lasting item
( Brother Roger, Madagascar 2006 )

 

 

« The heavens declare the glory of God ; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech ; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun, which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion, like a champion rejoicing to run his course. It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other ; nothing is hidden from its heat » Psalm 19 : 1 - 6
