Genesis 1:28-30
Genesis 1:28-30
God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground." Then God said, " I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground - everything that has the breath of life in it - I give every green plant for food." And it was so.
Genesis 2:15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.
God created each of us to work, establishing work from the very beginning of his creation. Now the work in garden was a bit different than our work today. In the garden there was perfection. Everything would have been easily done and the yield of the plants would have been amazing. The whole of God's creation was given to Adam with the intent that man would live in this environment forever.
What is your attitude towards your work? Well, our work today is different than what God had intended. Because of Adam and Eve's sin in the garden, things changed and we will explore that more tomorrow. But today, in our fallen world, we are still called to work. You will find many other references in the Bible pertaining to work and our relationship with our co-workers and supervisors.
What about retirement? Is there a Biblical call for retirement? Note that Moses and Aaron for instance
Blessings to you today!
