I've never met anyone who has no aspiration to live a good life. God did not just command us to dominate the earth, He also put the spirit in us to want to do so. He wants us to work (Genesis 2:15), to conquer our environments (Genesis 1:28) and to lead (Genesis 1:26). He wants us to be the head only (Deuteronomy 28:13), and not the tail. He wants us to plant, and He wants to bless our crops (Deuteronomy 28:4). It is His original plan to envelope His children with all-round blessings (Deuteronomy 28:3).

 

As we already know, God did not design us to live by miracles only. He wants us to live by every word that proceeds out of His mouth, including the instructions to work. And while there may be few people who hate work and want to sleep all day, the majority of people want to work. The problem people have is what to do when work is not easily forthcoming. This is where initiative comes in. It starts from the simple question, what can I do?
