WORK, it is a blessing or a curse?

WORK is the exercise of physical or mental EFFORT TO ACCOMPLISH A PURPOSE or to PRODUCE SOMETHING.

It is a GIFT OF GOD for MAN to eat, drink, and see good for all HIS HARD WORK. We should
APPRECIATIVELY LOOK TO GOD for his blessing on the WORK that we do, and NOT BE
UNDULY ANXIOUS about MATERIAL needs.
JESUS advised his FOLLOWERS to SEEK first the KINGDOM in the Invisible World. He also urged: "WORK, not for the food that perishes, but for the food that remains FOR LIFE EVERLAST-
ING." USE the MATERIAL resources acquired by labor TO ADVANCE SPIRITUAL interests.

GOD determines which WORKS are PROPER and which works are IMPROPER.  Some WORKS that result in no spiritual benefit and are evidently included among the UNFRUITFUL WORKS that
BELONG TO the DARKNESS are the following: -FORNICATION, -LOOSE CONDUCT,
IDOLATRY,  -BLACK MAGIC,  -HATREDS,  -FITS OF ANGER,  -DRUNKEN BOUTS.

PIOUS WORKS as of the MOSAIC LAW, which included such things as sacrificial offerings, purifications and circumcision, did not serve to declare a person RIGHTEOUS.
Yet, the disciple JAMES - who is not discussing WORKS of the Mosaic Law - says : "a man is to be
declared RIGHTEOUS by WORKS, and NOT by FAITH ALONE."
There must be PRACTICAL WORKS that DEMONSTRATE one's FAITH, giving proof of it.

When doing any WORK, do it whole-souled as if that task is for GOD and not for men.
