"My Father is working still, and I am working.” John 5, 17
God would like to present us with the joy of honest work, creation, creating incomparable to anything else ,pure , uplifting joy that gives our lives meaning ! Lets dare to say yes to life , honest physical work, lets undertake our mental, spiritual tasks and carry them through to reach good outcome !
The children, are not given by the educators, teachers tasks that are beyond their capabilities , quite certainly God, the greatest teacher of our world, would not trust us with such work for which He would not give strength, talents ! We say it so easily to the children to stop whinging , not to throw tantrums whilst trying to do their homework , but settle down to it and step by step solve the problems , learn the material they have been given , because it is for their own benefit , because they will become cleverer , grow up to life’s real challenges ! We should encourage ourselves with the same words as well
, because it is quite certain that we have not been given such tasks, work to cary out that are not according to the will of God , and by accepting them with humble endurance , we could not cary it to a satisfactory good ending !
I wish you success with nice the salutation of the miners : Good luck to you !

translated by dr k.e.
But Jesus answered them, "My Father is working still, and I am working."
This was why the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath but also called God his Father, making himself equal with God.
Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing; for whatever he does, that the Son does likewise.
For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all that he himself is doing; and greater works than these will he show him, that you may marvel.
For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will.
The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me, has eternal life; he does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.
"Truly, truly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.
For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself, and has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man.
Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice and come forth, those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.
"I can do nothing on my own authority; as I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me.
John 5 ,17.30
