From the beginning, God created man to work. That was why when He created the first man, He gave him an assignment in the Garden of Eden. The Garden of Eden was man’s primary place of work. So, there was no arrangement even from the very beginning that we could just live lazy and expect God to send money to us just for doing nothing.
When we are praying for the blessings of God, we should bear in mind that God will not bless the lazy. We must be ready to do productive work if we want to enjoy God’s favor and blessings. We should be actively involved in productive work every day. We should not be lazy. God hates those who are not working.
Faith without work is dead. Praying Alone will not give us what we want from God. We must obey God's commandment of working. He has warned us to go and learn from the ants. He does not want us to behave like the sluggard. Faith that is accompanied with appropriate work is the faith that will bring results.
