"
Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might..." There is no better advice available anywhere for anything than this counsel. Whatever you do in life, do it with gusto, do it with enthusiasm! The reason is that whatever you find to do in your life, consider it what God has apportioned you to do (vs. 9). So, if what you do is God's plan and purpose for you, then naturally you should find enjoyment and satisfaction in it. We often think that our lives would be far better if we could do something else, had a different job, a different marriage, lived in a different town. However, God's plan for you is what you are doing right now. So you should be happy about it, and you should do the best job of it you can because you are doing it for God and according to His will! I like Abraham Lincoln's version of the message of this verse: "Whatever you are, be a good one."
