Title: Wise-Work: Doing the right thing for the right reasons // Selected Proverbs
We live in a world driven by comfort, entertainment, and ease. Proverbs calls this the life of a ‘sluggard’. There is a better way, a happier way. And it is characterized by hard work in the fear of the Lord and love of neighbor.
Discussion prompts:
What are we wanting when we choose to act like the sluggard?
When we work hard, what is our motivation? (Humility and the fear of the Lord, or pride and love of self?)
How did Jesus’ wise work free us to grow into wise workers?
