Key Points:
- Work hard in everything you do. God put us on this earth so that we can be productive people. This means that whatever you do, whether it’s school, sports, or music, God wants you to give it all of your effort.
- Separate your needs from your wants. The wise person separates what they need from what they want. Wants can be delayed until we can really afford them.
- Trust God with what you have. God wants us to be happy with whatever we have, whether it is a lot or a little.
Quote This:
Colossians 3:23 “Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.”
