Proverbs 19-20

(December 3, 2014)

                I loved the expression of the importance of plowing in cold weather.  It isn’t enough that we be willing to work – we need to be willing and able to work in adverse conditions.  There will never be the ideal time to work – something will always come along that will get in the way.  It will be too hot or too cold.  You will be too tired or too excited.  Something – anything.

                But we not only have to work when it is convenient, we need to change our very natures such that work is something we do consistently throughout the eternities.  Work will be one of the constants of the Exalted Life, and if we don’t develop the capacity in mortality to work under circumstances both good and bad, we will find ourselves unprepared for the work required of us in the life to come.
