Work
As these definition suggests, there are different types of work, physical or manual, mental or creative, occupational or organizational and chores. The opposite of work is idleness. This is an attribute that God detests.
God created humans to work, and the Lord God took man, and put him into the garden of eden to dress it and keep it.
When you're idle and don't work, you defeat the purpose of your existence; it implies that, you're not fulfilling your purpose of living and also create room for Satan to manipulate and lure you into something evil, for an idle hand is the devil's workshop.
If you're a sluggard or a lazy person who avoids work or physical exertion and you don't have any gainful employment, you don't have any humanitarian service or preach the Gospel, you will be physically and spiritually poor.
Just as economists posit that human wants are insatiable.
We have catalogue of wants ranging from physical, spiritual, financial, material to emotional, but God provided a means of meeting our most pressing needs WORK.
As a human, you're not urged to be idle because God created you to work in order to support yourself and not to rely on others for sustenance. IF ANY SHOULD NOT WORK, NEITHER SHALL HE EAT. This is a maxim meaning that you shouldn't be supported by anyone or organization, be they close relations or church, unless you're willing to fend for yourself by working. Actually, the maxim, which was a proverb among the Jews that AN ABLE - BODIED PERSON WHO CAN WORK BUT WOULD RATHER SUPPORT HIMSELF BY BEGGING FROM DOOR TO DOOR SHOULD NOT GET ONE MORSEL OF BREAD.
Idleness or laziness brings more wants. As a sluggard, you desired or crave to have but get nothing because you don't work.
Now, what will you rather do? Be idle and be in want or work and be satisfied?
THE CHOICE IS YOURS TO MAKE
