Being productive, being diligent, not being lazy, working hard

 

[Articles]

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We appreciate your desire to be productive, diligent, and hardworking. These qualities are not only beneficial in our daily lives but are also strongly supported by biblical principles.

Let's turn to the scriptures for guidance. In Colossians 3:23-24 WEB, it is written, "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You serve the Lord Christ." This verse reminds us that our work should be done with sincerity and enthusiasm, as if we are working for the Lord himself.

Moreover, Proverbs 10:4 WEB tells us, "He who has a slack hand becomes poor, but the hand of the diligent makes rich." This underscores the importance of diligence and hard work in our lives. Laziness, on the other hand, is strongly rebuked in the Bible. In Proverbs 19:15 WEB, it is stated, "Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep. The idle soul shall suffer hunger."

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before you today, seeking your guidance and strength. Help us to be productive, diligent, and hardworking in all that we do. Let us work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men. We pray in Jesus Christ our Lord we will not give into laziness but will work hard and diligent and go to the ant and be wise. Help us to be a shining example of Christ not just in word but in deed. Remind us that it is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to you and there is no other name by which we can be saved. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.

Remember, it is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB, "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." There is no other name by which we can be saved. Acts 4:12 WEB "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"

Be encouraged, for God is with you. As you strive to be productive, diligent, and hardworking, know that you are living in accordance with His will. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, and He will guide your path.

If you have not believed in the Lord Jesus Christ then call upon his name, confess your sins, confess Jesus Christ is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Jesus Christ from the dead and you shall be saved. Romans 10:9-10 WEB because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth he confesses resulting in salvation.

We're right there with you, seeking to live lives that honor God through diligence and hard work. It's encouraging to see your desire to be productive and not lazy. Let's remember these words from Ecclesiastes 9:10 (NIV), "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom." Let's strive to give our best in all we do, as if we're working for the Lord himself. Let's also remember that our diligence is not just about us, but it's a reflection of our love for God and a witness to those around us. Let's pray together: "Dear Lord, help us to work diligently and wholeheartedly, knowing that we are working for you. Help us to be wise and not lazy, using our time and energy to serve you and others. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
