A KINGDOM WORK

Since Righteouse Free Enterprise is given to us by God it is a Kingdom Work. That is, along with the whole of creation, work is an integral part of the Creation. We are to "work and "keep" that which God has given us to do. This is how we "make" our living, by doing that which God has given our hands to do.

And we don't just give our hands and backs and legs to the task, we give our might.

Ecclesiastes 9:10 is translated: To the degree your hands discover, make or do, as to your ability or power.

We are commanded here to bring the fullness of our ability to the tasks that we discover needing to be done. In this way we glorify God, who gives us work and the ability to do it.

And we also have the right to participate in and receive the FRUIT (produce, profit) that our labor produces. (This is the case for private property as well, which as you can also tell is really "on loan" from God.)

God rules and reigns over our work as both the provider of it, and the one giving us the talent and skill to do it.

This is why it says, "he who will not work, shall not eat.".
