Part of living in perfect peace involves keeping verses like this one close to our heart, remembering always that the Lord never intended us to go it alone in this world, but to live behind the walls of His divine, all powerful fortress of love and devotion, where we remain safe from strife and worry as children of the living God.

It is God who grants us the ability to work and blesses us with our jobs and functions in this world. When we are lazy or only put forth half our effort, we dishonour God and damage our Christian testimony.
