According to scripture, work is regarded as a divine command (Exodus 20:9). The Rabbi of New Testament times supported himself by working a trade. Aquila and the Apostle Paul both were tent makers (Acts 15:3). Believers are admonished, "If any will not work neither let him eat" (II Thessalonians 3:10). Work is not a curse or a punishment but because of sin, work becomes meaningless and fruitless unless blessed by God (Psalm 127:1, 2). An honest day's work is every wise worker's duty. When man is a fool and does not regard God in his work then work becomes a burden and sorrowful. Work for the Christian and the fruit of it becomes very important when the church is viewed as a community within society. It must be supported and self-sustained. Every Christian has a part. In this sense work is not just a secular thing. It is an act of worship. This study contrasts the wise worker with the foolish worker and the expected outcome of each.
