God Gives Us Work To Give Mankind Its Dignity

The Lord tells us do not worry!

Do not worry about what you’ll eat . . . or drink . . . or wear. It’s tempting to say to the Lord, . . . that’s easy for You to say! When He tells us do not worry about tomorrow, it’s tempting to say . . . that’s great but You are the Son of God! For those of us who need to work for a living . . . we need to take care of these things!

The Lord wraps up His teaching by saying, Sufficient for a day for its own evil!

What is the Lord really telling us? The lesson the Lord is telling us is . . . work is intrinsic to what it is to be human. Work has been given by God to give man his dignity. The world may look at work as a necessary evil . . . to be avoided when possible. That is not how God sees work!
