"So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor. For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building."
1 Corinthians 3:7-9
Christians today feel their role is to be busy - work hard and honor the Lord when not to occupied. This is not God's way. Man built buildings - man set up false retirement savings - man set up college to lock you into financial slavery. The truth is Jesus Christ. He is free. He is alive. He overcame the world - in him - so can you.
We are here to be God's people - for his will. We are God's completely devoted and true to his will. There is no will but that of Christ Jesus. Dominate your life in Jesus - not money. Jesus is God - the Giver of life.
Be careful not to prepare yourself a life that distracts you from seeking God first. The focus of many becomes the work and the yoke of the daily task without God as the central focus becomes to great. Freedom ceases as you become dependent and reliant on performing tasks for man. On the contrary, when the focus is first on the Kingdom of God and serving him that which creates life, your life will be full and free as if a child.
We do not know the path for which God has chosen us to be molded, so whatever the work the Lord has placed in front of you, do it with vigor and all of your strength as it is the Lord that you are serving.
