When people think of hard work, they may have different pictures in their minds. One might think of manual labor, sweat on the brow, calluses on the hands and tired muscles. Another might think of working at a computer for long hours. Still others might picture being on their feet all day long, serving others in whatever way their jobs dictate. And some might picture having to travel to meet customers and enduring long meetings.
All of these pictures can certainly be examples of hard work. Hard work isn’t just how many calories we expend or even how many hours we invest, but how diligently we put forth effort to accomplish the job we have to do. This can definitely involve sweat and long hours, but it can also involve learning and working smarter to do a better job more efficiently.

Biblical view of hard work:

In the book 5th book of Moses (Deuteronomy 5:13), God says, “Six days you shall labor and do all your work”. It is crystal Clear here that out of seven days in a week you have to work for six days even Jesus work for six days and rested on the seventh day (genesis 1).

What does the bible say about hard working:

The Bible shows that God intended for us to work and to gain fulfillment and satisfaction from doing so. Work is to be a major part of our lives. It is one of the main factors in a happy, well-rounded life. It is a key to personal fulfillment as well as financial security.

There has to be a balance between work, family, worship and pleasure. But without hard work, a person’s life will become shallow and out of balance.

God has a lot to say in the Bible about work, our attitude toward it and the results of it in our lives. These are timeless principles that apply in any age.
When you are hard working you will surely be blessed, The bible even made it clear to us that we have to be hard working in as much our father in heaven work harder; (John 5:17) Jesus said, “My Father has been working until now, and I have been working”. We have a working God and a working Savior.

Avoid laziness

Laziness will never produce better offer according to the fascinating analogy recorded by Wise King Solomon in the bible (Proverbs 6:6-11): “Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise, which, having no captain, overseer or ruler, provides her supplies in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest. How long will you slumber, O sluggard? When will you rise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep—so shall your poverty come on you like a prowler, and your need like an armed man” (Proverbs 6:6-11).

There is a lesson here for us if we find ourselves tending to be lazy! Hard workers are known to those around them. They have good reputations. Can we train ourselves to be diligent and to consistently work hard? Similarly, can we as parents teach our children the importance of hard work?

Diligence

You have to be diligent in your work (Proverb 12:24): “The hand of the diligent will rule, but the lazy man will be put to forced labor”. Supervisory positions and jobs with more responsibility (and jobs that pay more) will be given to those who have proven themselves with hard and consistent work.

Another verse backs this up. “The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing; but the soul of the diligent shall be made rich” (Proverbs 13:4). Financial well-being can so often be traced back directly to hard work and constant, faithful diligence. It was true in Solomon’s time, and it is true today.

Blessing abide:

Jesus said, “My Father has been working until now, and I have been working” (John 5:17). We have a working God and a working Savior. They set the pattern for us. They show us how to have a happy, full life.

A large portion of our life will be spent working. It’s the way God designed it. It’s not something we should look at as burdensome. It’s something we should enjoy as a blessing God has given us.
Solomon paints the picture for us in Ecclesiastes 5:18-20. “Here is what I have seen: It is good and fitting for one to eat and drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labor in which he toils under the sun all the days of his life which God gives him; for it is his heritage. As for every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, and given him power to eat of it, to receive his heritage and rejoice in his labor—this is the gift of God. For he will not dwell unduly on the days of his life, because God keeps him busy with the joy of his heart.”
