Pastor Josh did recap the messages year to date
Fasting aided listening and create a trusting state
Fruitfulness, enjoyment, and then purposeful rest
And looking at boundaries as a way to be blessed
Pastor then quoted from Genesis two verse eight
God planted a garden in Eden, it did communicate
He also put a man there, which serves to remind
We should allow God to place us as He designed
Interestingly, per Genesis chapter two verse fifteen
God put Adam to work, or “blessed labour” is seen
This transpired before the fall, so it was God’s plan
Josh said “Enjoying Work” should be an aim of man
Per Genesis three seventeen, resulting from sin
A different type of labour, “painful toil”, did begin
But instead of focusing on work as a job or task
Per Psalms, in God’s inheritance we should bask
Per a TED talk, excellent work requires passion
Plus vision, focus, and perseverance not to ration
Remember that spiritual and secular are not split
All is sacred, as God’s ambassadors we commit
Work is FROM GOD, as it is a golden opportunity
For us to emulate God’s roles so others can see
We can thus bring light to events darkest places
And use our experiences to brighten sad faces
Work is FOR GOD, per Colossians chapter three
We should do everything in Jesus’ name, we see
Whatever we do, for God we should work heartily
So always operate with excellence and integrity
Work should be WITH GOD, as David did show
Per Psalm seventy eight, into a king he did grow
Why we are put in places we may not understand
Like David, have an upright heart and skilful hand
God wants us to be a light for everyone we meet
By relying on Him, all challenges we can defeat
For our purpose is bigger than any one person
Which gives us lots to do before our time is done
