The
scripture tells us that God is the creator of heaven and earth and that He
created man in His own image. If we are created in the image and likeness of God,
then we should resemble God. He is a God of creation. We too should be creators
of things. Creativity is a special gift from God to mankind. God does not want
us to sit and watch things happen. He wants us to be involved in making things
happen. Gen 2:15 says, “Then the lord God took man and put him in the Garden of
Eden to tend and keep it.” Right from the beginning, God designed human beings
to be working beings and made work a way through which the blessings of God
could be assessed. Those who do not like to work will not be successful. Jesus said,
“My father has been working until now, and I have been working” (john 5:17). People
of labour will be great.
Laziness is
a dangerous disease and a most despised quality in the bible. It is the cause
of most problems in the world, “because of laziness the building decays, and
through idleness of hands the house leaks” (Eccl 10:18). “He who is slothful in
his work is a brother to him who is a great destroyer” (Prov 18:9). Love of
work is one of the most important qualities we should develop. God loves a
hardworking person. Idleness or useless talks will take you nowhere. Spend the
time you have for something useful and helpful. Spend your life creating
things. That way, you are fulfilling the will of God.
