Prov 12:24 The hand of the diligent will rule, while the slothful will be put to forced labor. 2 Tim 2:6 It is the hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops. Jer 29:5 Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce. Prov 16:11 A just balance and scales are the Lord’s; all the weights in the bag are his work. 1Cor 3:8 He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his labor. — Just wanted to share some thoughts on the four letter word WORK from Scripture.
