Work Hard and Prosper

(Pro 27:18 KJV)  Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.

One of the cultural standards that has developed from the influence of the Old and New Testaments is the dignity of the common man.  All through the scripture we see God’s concern for the poor and oppressed.  We also see in verses like this that there is a dignity and honor in hard work.  The snob does not belong in the house of God.

So?  Work hard.  Stand tall.  Remember that Paul was a tent maker and Jesus was referred to as a carpenter.  They were not known as political leaders or moguls of commerce.  That is our example.  (Posted, June 27, 2023, PP)
