One of my favorite aspects of farming is that you always have opportunities to work with your hands and build things! There is an intrinsic reward in being able to work with your hands and to be able to SEE the fruit of your labors. In this world of tecno flashy computer driven lifestyles; it is a privilege to be blessed to have an occupation that involves God-honoring manual labor.
There is a distorted view of work in our day. Work was instituted by God even before the fall. It is a good thing that we should embrace and not try to avoid. In fact, the first time someone worked on this earth it was God himself.
Genesis 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
John 5:17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
