Labor That Has Dignity And Importance \u2013 Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1929 of our Trek, and it\u2019s time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote and some wise words from Gramps for today\u2019s trek. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. So we are on a daily trek to create a legacy of wisdom, seek out discernment and insights, and boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before.
Hello, my friend; this is Gramps. Thanks for coming along on today\u2019s trek as we increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2016%3A16andversion=NLT (Proverbs 16:16) How much better to get wisdom than gold, and sound judgment than silver! If you apply the words you hear today, over time, it will help you become more healthy, wealthy, and wise as you continue your daily trek of life. So let\u2019s jump right in with today\u2019s nugget:
Today\u2019s quote is from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and it is: All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance, and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.
Labor That Has Dignity And Importance
There is no such thing as a meaningless job. If the work you do to earn a living is not illegal or immoral, it brings value to society. Therefore, one job should not be looked on as more important or unique because for society to function well and efficiently, everyone has to do their job well. If the garbage worker or the sewer plant manager fails to do their job well, we can have a real mess in our lives. Even more so than many rich and famous persons such as movie stars or entertainers of all sorts. Some jobs or positions may pay more due to training, or society deems those positions worth more like professional sports players, but that in no way implies that those jobs are valuable to the community or you personally. As Christ-followers, we are valuable in God\u2019s eyes regardless of our position. We do for a living to provide for ourselves while we fulfill our greater calling, which is to build God\u2019s kingdom on earth. Therefore, work hard, work well, and work to bring honor and glory to God.

Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.
