Work and Trust God
30. January. 22

“Why should we take an example from the birds under the sky and still work six days?” This way someone wanted to show me a contradiction in the Bible. What do you think about this?

God created earth in six days and on the seventh day he rested. He told the man to name the animals and to tend to the garden. Work in healthy measures is part of the creators concept. To work until exhaustion is human greed! One day of rest while focussing on God gives new strength and is his idea. Nevertheless, many stress during their time off as well. 

Birds do not build a stock. In comparison, we do hoard more than we truly need. Let’s learn from the birds which are taken care of by God. 

Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

Matthew 6:26

Those who work and trust God won’t be disappointed. Worrying won’t extend your life by a single day.
