(January 4, 2014)
There is much to take from this chapter, but nothing more so than the Lord’s commandment to Adam that by the sweat of his face he should eat his bread all the days of his life. Some people work very hard to avoid work, but I have noticed in my own life that the harder I am working, the happier I am. It seems counterintuitive sometimes – one would think that I would get more joy doing the things that I wanted to do than the things that were unpleasant to do. But as my work improves and as my capacity to work increases, I find myself happier and at peace more even as I struggle with the other aspects of my life. My work has become a source of strength rather than a burden.
