Do you see any truly
competent workers? They
will serve kings rather than
working for ordinary people.
Our First “Job Description”

earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in
the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.”

A Prayer for
Our Work
Work Hard
Lazy people are soon poor; hard workers get rich.
May the Lord our God show
us his approval and make our
efforts successful. Yes, make
our efforts successful!
PSALM 90:17
PROVERBS 10:4
A little extra sleep, a little more slumber, a little folding of the
hands to rest—then poverty will pounce on you like a bandit;
scarcity will attack you like an armed robber.
PROVERBS 24:33-34
She is energetic and strong, a hard worker. P R O V E R B S 3 1 : 1 7
How We Work Matters More Than Where We Work
Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather
than for people. Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your
reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ. C O L O S S I A N S 3 : 2 3 -2 4
Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with
your hands, just as we instructed you before. Then people who are not believers will
respect the way you live, and you will not need to depend on others.
1 THESSALONIANS 4:11-12
