How many your works are, O Jehovah! You have made all of them in wisdom. The earth is full of what you have made.—Ps. 104:24.

 

How do most people where you live view work? In many countries, people are working harder and longer than ever before. Overworked people are often too busy to rest, to spend time with their families, or to satisfy their spiritual need. (Eccl. 2:23) On the other hand, some people do not like to work at all and make excuses for not working. (Prov. 26:13, 14) In contrast with the world’s unbalanced attitudes, consider the way that Jehovah and Jesus view work. There is no question that Jehovah is a worker. Jesus made that clear, saying: “My Father has kept working until now, and I keep working.” (John 5:17) Think of all the work God did as he created countless spirit creatures and the vast universe. We also see ample evidence of God’s creative works on the beautiful earth where we live. w19.12 2 ¶1-2

You can't walk with God while holding hands with the Devil.

We learn to imitate Jehovah’s industriousness rather than to be lazy. The Bible does not promote laziness - it also gives us good examples of faithful servants who were working. Jehovah promises that in the New World we will enjoy the work of our hands to the fullest, it’s clear that we won’t be idling. Industriousness is one aspect we need, to enjoy eternal life.

 Jehovah is the God of good work. He even made our bodies to get stronger the more we work. We were meant to enjoy hard work but this world has ruined even that . How we all look forward to God's new world where we will enjoy hard work and magnify Jehovah for all we do. 

The one showing favor to the lowly is lending to Jehovah
