I'm looking for bible verses to help me with this:

I while at work thank GOD for my job no matter what it is. It could be a job that other people would think, "I would never do that job." Well, I asked GOD for my work, and I work hard and do the best that I can because I know that I prayed for work. And so, if GOD give me that job on that day, I don't want to be a slacker.

Now I have seen people, lots of them, that do little work during the day, slowing up the job, and getting paid well to do nothing when they have work that needs to be done.

Why do we have this problem of "I want more money to do less as possible"? Does the Bible say anything about how we should work? It seems to me that if you don't do the job, it cost more money in the long run and wouldn't that be stealing?

I think the problem is that we have this entitlement mindset to earn money, no matter what our work ethic might be.

See 2 Thessalonians 3:7-15. Paul gives us instructions regarding our work and how we view others in this regard. And, God ordained work in Genesis 3:17-19. Plus there are several verses describing the benefits of work.

Hey John_C, Thank you again for your reply, if I have any questions about these passage's hope your around <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/BigThumbUp.gif" alt="" />
