Your body is always with you when you’re at work. You can’t do your work without it.

 

Scripture teaches us that the body is a gift. All of our work depends on this gift that we can’t take credit for.

 

It's good for us to apply effort, but our strength for the effort comes from a source beyond ourselves.
