I agree with you. As I pull up the rest of this series, you'll see an emphasis on our need for rest and God's desire for us to take rest. I think the best way to describe a Biblical view of work is with the word "diligence". We're to work hard but within reason and without violating other Biblical principles like rest, contentment, and love. Thanks for commenting and for your encouragement! Thanks, Jeremy!

The only thing I'd add is a distinction from working hard and over-working. We should be able to work hard within the parameters of still being home with our family, still involved with our communities, and still taking deserved (and recommended) rests. I love this series, by the way. Keep up the great work Great word, Paul. The only thing I’d add is a distinction from working hard and over-working.

I'm glad it was helpful for you! I think keeping the perspective of honoring God in everything we do will help us focus on serving Him at all times. It also changes the way we look at working for others and helps us keep a good attitude and remember to maintain our integrity. Thanks, Tim. I’m glad it was helpful for you!

Never underestimate how God can use your labor when you work hard to honor Him. It's challenging, but if we apply Col. 3:23 'Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men' I think we can influence leaders and may even become a leader who can do great things for the Kingdom. Thanks for posting, looking forward to tomorrow's post. Tim Your perspective on hard work was good for me to read today.
