On Profit and Toil
From the ancient book of
Ecclesiastes, Chapter 3: 9-13.
In reflecting upon our daily work – let’s make it holy. Therefore, rejoice and do well regardless of what your talent may produce.
What profit have workers from their toil? I have seen the business that God has given to mortals to be busied about.God has made everything appropriate to its time, but has put the timeless* into their hearts so they cannot find out, from beginning to end, the work which God has done.
I recognized that there is nothing better than to rejoice and to do well during life.Moreover, that all can eat and drink and enjoy the good of all their toil—this is a gift of God.
