Proverbs 6

Work is not a bad word. Work is a gift, a positive outlet for the creative nature that dwells in each of us; that is a part of God's image impressed on our lives. Work can be boring. It can be stressful. It can also steal away other parts of our lives if we let it. But God intended it for two purposes. The creative expression I have already mentioned and the ability to meet our physical needs. That is why Proverbs 6:6-8 focuses on the ants. One of the smallest of God's creatures offer to teach us a lesson. Work is how God intends for nearly all of us to acquire our sustinance; just like the ant.
