The truck lumbered up the hill, as the firewood sat precariously on the back. The springs were loaded down which gave a smooth ride. The truck wasn't fast, but it got the job done. An empty truck gives a bumpy ride , but now all is smooth.
Hard work has a way of letting you enjoy the simple things of life. Hauling firewood is some of the sweet work of a wood cutter. The job has been accomplished and the wood is being delivered. It is a time to rest and enjoy the fruit of your labor. Hauling firewood brings a sense of satisfaction. Satisfaction comes from action. “The sleep of the working man is pleasant.” Eccl. 5:12
When we are obedient in doing what God has called us to do then there is a calmness and smoothness.
Delivering the finished product is what the work is all about. God wants us to work for Him but if we don't continue till the end there will be no fruit. We should weigh the cost to see if what we are about to do is worth the work and are we able to finish what we have started? Do we have the knowledge, ability, willingness and resources to finish the job? If we are not going to finish the job why start? Plan your work to consider what is possible. Then go and do it.
When we get to heaven God will say, “Well done thou good and faithful servant.”
