One who is slack in his work s brother to one who destroys.

Proverbs 18

One who is slack in his work
    is brother to one who destroys.

God provides us a job on earth and we are to do it joyfully.  This is also an admonition elsewhere:

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people, because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free. (Ephesians 6:5-8)

My Prayer: Lord Jesus, I know that You bless me with a job and You have blessed me with so much more...well beyond what I deserve.   I confess to You that I am a selfish person and I am not a patient person also.  Thank You that You love me anyway but please forgive me.  Help me be more like You.
