Hello friends of steemit today I want to share with you a reflection on The Blessing of God at Work.
The bilblia speaks of man and work, this is a relationship that constituted the Lord since the time of Adam, we can see this in Genesis 2:15; "So the Lord God took the man, and put him in the garden of Eden, that he might till it and keep it."
Adam would receive his part without much effort since God allowed him to have authority over creation, provided that he was in obedience to God, but he also received his reward for his disobedience.
we can see in Gen 3: 17-19; "The man said, Because you obeyed the voice of your wife, and ate of the tree of which I commanded you, saying, You shall not eat of it: cursed is the ground for your sake: with pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life.
Thorns and thistles will produce you, and you will eat plants of the field.
With the sweat of your face you will eat the bread until you return to the ground, because from it you were taken; you are dust, and you will return to dust. "
Here we can see that because of the disobedience of Adam God rebuked him to work to be able to feed with effort and sweat and lost authority in everything that God had given him, since it was the consequence of his disobedience eating the tree of good and of evil.
in the book of **Ecclesiastes 4: 4-6 he says: ** "I have also seen that every work and every excellence of works arouses the envy of man against his neighbor." This is also vanity and affliction of spirit. The fool crosses his hands and eats his same meat. Better a fist full with rest, than both fists filled with work and affliction of spirit. "
The work done with excellence attracts satisfaction in man and God's blessing for his life, otherwise when the work is done in an improper or unfair way it can bring curses for himself and his offspring, since all work can be for good or for bad , sometimes it can awaken envy, discord, revenge and other works of the flesh in other people, either colleagues or close persons, even in relatives, but this will often depend on our attitude as a family man how to respond before this kind of situations.
We can fall into discord and lawsuits or rather be a blessing to those who attack us unfairly.
God rewards the work done with honesty and responsibility Hebrews 6: 7-8: "For the earth that drinks the rain that often falls on it, and produces grass profitable to those for whom it is plowed, receives blessing from God; that which produces thorns and thistles is reprobated, is about to be cursed, and its end is to be burned. "
Let us appreciate how God can bless the work of our hands when the earth is honestly tilled and the fruit of that work will be a blessing at the time it is received, but when it is done improperly it will be a curse for our lives, whatever it may be. our action only the Father of the Skies will give us the reward we deserve in his time.
