The most dangerous thing today appears to be living a life of mediocrity. In physical health, mental health, and spiritual health.
Okay, I was getting frustrated this week because it appears some people work harder than others. Feeling treated unfairly, I couldn't help thinking of the parable of the man who complains that his pay should be more since he worked all day and others are getting paid the same amount for working just the afternoon. The story is commenting on heavenly rewards, but can be applied practically. I glorify God with my work. Working hard isn't for me, my boss, or my company. I work hard to out of gratefulness of God's blessings in my life. Solomon said it was good for man to work hard. It is pleasing to God when I work hard. I struggle often when I think that life is hard/unfair and I "deserve better". Society/advertising/culture is wrong. I deserve less and am blessed richly.
