Ecclesiastes 9:10 Whatsoever thy hand finds to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither you go.
[Patriarchs & Prophets pp 424] While the Israelites were the chosen and favored people of God, they must heed the restrictions which He placed upon them. They were directed, in all their intercourse with the Edomites, to beware of doing them injustice. They were to trade with them, buying such supplies as were needed, and promptly paying for all they had received. They were not dependent upon the Edomites, for they had a God rich in resources. In all of their intercourse they should exemplify the principles of the divine law, “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.”
Don’t take our word for it, try it if you are a business owner, and see if it would make a difference in the prices you would get from the very same supplier you have been doing business with for many years. The supplier will “ALWAYS” prefer prompt payment instead of a thirty-day lapse, and in many cases, will be willing to offer steep discounts as a result.
Again, there is a Royal way for technicians to do the trade they specialize in. One of the principles that is to be incorporated into the portfolio of the peculiar people is that if a job cannot be done correctly, for financial reasons, in most cases it is best not to take the job, rather than take it and be forced to do sub-standard work.
Colossians 3:23 And whatsoever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; 24 Knowing that of the Lord you shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for you serve the Lord Christ.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
