To rule the day and the moon to rule the night, and rested
The fifth day God created the fish
In the seas and birds in the air and then He rested
On the sixth day God created Adam and Eve
And no one has rested since
God rested on the seventh day
Not because he was tired, but because
He was establishing a prototype
That is an essential part of physical and spiritual health
Giving money to an able bodied man or woman
Who can work but refuses to work is violation of the law of God
We must stop looking at work as simply a means
Of making a living and realize it is an essential
Ingredient of making a quality of life
If a man is called to be a street sweeper
He should sweep streets as Michelangelo painted
Or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry
He should sweep the street so well that all the hosts
Of heaven and earth will pause to say here lived
A great street sweeper who did his job very well
We should work as if God is watching
Because He is…
God is never going to trust you with a better job
Unless you succeed at the one you have
Be willing to work
Do a little more than what you’re paid to do
Give a little more than what you have to
Try a little more than what you want to
Aim a little higher than you think possible
And give a lot of thanks to God for health, family and friends
- I Timothy 5:8
