Ephesians 4:28
“...let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands...”
The word “labor” here (κοπιάτω) refers specifically to tiring, physical labor. For example, disciples as fishermen “labored all night,” trying to catch fish (in Luke 5:5). When Jesus had finished a wearying trip, the phrase “being wearied” is a translation of this word “labor” (in John 4:6). In other words, put your whole self into it - regardless of your job (Colossians 3:23), regardless of your boss (1 Peter 2:18) - as unto the Lord.

Bonus: If a brother in Christ does not work, do not have anything to do with him - do not even give him food (2 Thessalonians 3:6-12; cf. Acts 18:3) - “that he may be ashamed.” (2 Thess 3:14). For a similar command, see 1 Corinthians 5:9-13.

Bonus: Excessive sleep (Prov 6:6-11; 20:13; 24:30-34; 22:14-15), excuses (Prov 22:13; 26:13), and chatter (Prov 20:13) get in the way of obedient productivity.

Question: In your labor (in school, the workplace, or ministry), what is one way to labor better this Monday?



“...so that he may have something...”
You can expect diligence to lead toward provision (Proverbs 28:19; 12:11) and honor (Proverbs 22:29), and it is right for the diligent to receive provision (Luke 10:7) and honor (Proverbs 31).

Bonus: As boss, God notices how you pay your employees (James 5:1-6).

Bonus: Diligence not only tends to result in having things but also in having well-maintained things (Ecclesiastes 10:18).

Question: Is there an important thing that I already own that I can maintain better this Monday?

“...to share with anyone in need.”
“Share”
Share as an expression of love (1 Corinthians 13) - for God’s applause, not man’s (Matthew 6:4,6,18).

“Anyone”
Family. God desires for parents to save for their children (Proverbs 13:22; 2 Corinthians 12:14) and for children to put their parents’ financial needs above an offering to the Temple (Mark 7:9-13). For example, the family should take care of any widows who are relatives (1 Timothy 5:8-16).
Believers. “Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers [who are the obedient followers of Christ, according to Matthew 12:46-50], you did it to me.” (Matthew 25) This can manifest in giving as an individual to individual needs (James 2:14-17), in giving through the local church to the local church’s needy (Acts 2:32-37), or in giving through a trusted group to another church’s needy (1 Corinthians 16:1; 2 Corinthians 9:1).
Others. When we love our haters (Matthew 5:38-42), we follow the example of Jesus who washed the feet of Judas (John 13:14) and healed the ear of the High Priest’s servant (Matthew 26:51).

Bonus: If your ultimate aim is wealth for yourself, you are in grave danger (1 Timothy 6:9; cf. Mark 4:19). If you gain wealth, invest it into your eternity through generosity (1 Timothy 6:17-19).

Question: If you had 100 dollars to give, who would you help (directly or through a ministry)?
