Earning - The Value of Work and Diligence

Work is a gift from God and a way for us to serve Him. Whether it’s chores, schoolwork, or a job, diligence is a way to honor God. When we understand that our work is for the Lord, we can find joy in doing our best in every task.

Key Points:

• The Value of Hard Work: Hard work helps us grow and develop the skills God has given us.
• Work as a Way to Serve God: Our efforts aren’t just about making money or completing tasks but also about reflecting God’s character.
• Needs vs. Wants: It’s important to understand the difference between what we need and what we want, and work can help us appreciate what we have.

Practical Activity:
Set up age-appropriate chores for children and reward them with small allowances. Use this opportunity to discuss how work can be a way to serve God and the importance of saving a portion of what they earn.

Prayer Focus:
Pray for a heart that desires to work diligently and with excellence. Ask God to help each family member find joy in their tasks and to see their work as a way to honor Him
