God created work even before the fall of Adam and He intended it for good. When Adam fell then a curse fell upon him "...cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life" - Gen 3:17.
Thank God for redemption so we are no longer under 'the curse' but 'the blessing' this blessing makes rich and adds no sorrow with it.
Work is neither a punishment nor a curse, work is God's covenant pathway to prosperity.
When God wants to bless a man, He gives him opportunity dressed in an overall called 'WORK'. It is as the man diligently carries out this work that God pours out His blessing on Him.
"... so that the LORD your God may bless all the work you do." - Deut. 24:19.
God doesn't bless an idle hand, he doesn't bless a fraudulent hand but he blesses the hand that works diligently and righteously.
"Wealth gained dishonestly dwindles away, but whoever works diligently increases his prosperity." - Proverbs 13:11
Stop seeking the easy way out, embrace work! There is dignity in Labour.
Make up your mind to work to a positive end as from today.
May the Lord bless the work of your hands...
