I live under a curse. Since the sin of my original father Adam, I am under the curse of sweat and hard labor. Nothing on earth comes to me free-for-the-taking. This life is no “Garden of Eden.” I must work, and work hard, to make a decent living.
Regardless of how I feel about my vocation, the fact remains that I will only eat “by the sweat of my brow.” If I choose hard work over laziness and, instead of sloth or excuse-making, choose to trust God who gave me the capacity to work hard, my family and I will be taken care of.
