GOD'S WORD FOR TODAY
DAILY DEVOTIONAL
HONOR IN WORK
READ PROVERBS 5:1 THROUGH 8:36
In past generations, parents taught their children the value of hard work and faithfulness to their families. People had at least one job. When a person lost a job, he worked very hard to get a new one as soon as possible. They knew hard work honored their family and God.



Maybe times and values have changed, but today it seems like more and more young adults would rather not work at all. An entire generation of young people have been lured away by different types of leisure activities. Scripture warns against neglecting one’s work:



A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man (Proverbs 6:10–11).



God created people to work hard with the giftedness and talents He gave them. Like no other generation in the world, people today have access to education and job training to prepare them for their work. It is good for parents to provide for the needs of their family through the work God has provided.



Prayer Suggestion: Thank God for your talents and abilities and for the work He has placed before you.



Quicklook: Proverbs 6:6–11
