It is our best work that God wants, not the dregs of our exhaustion. I think he must prefer quality to quantity.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It is the quality of our work which will please God and not the quantity.
God doesn't do things halfway. He goes all out! When God does something, it's not just barely enough, mediocre or lukewarm.
God's desire is that we excel.
The sweat of hard work is not to be displayed. It is much more graceful to appear favored by the gods.
We can be tired, weary and emotionally distraught, but after spending time alone with God, we find that He injects into our bodies energy, power and strength.
We must never undervalue any person. The workman loves not that his work should be despised in his presence. Now God is present everywhere, and every person is His work.
If we sleep more than is needful for the refreshment of the body, it is wasting the time with which the Lord has entrusted us as a talent, to be used for his glory, for our own benefit, and the benefit of the saints and the unbelievers around us.
In the Old Testament, we are continually told that our good works are not enough, that God has made a provision. This provision is pointed to at every place in the Old Testament.
Most of us want to have enough... good works to get into heaven, but enough bad works to be fun.
Man was made at the end of the week's work, when God was tired.
