God's World and Our Work (Family Worship lesson in Proverbs 12:10–11)

Pastor leads his family in two verses from "the Proverb of the day." When we love God with all our heart, His Word shapes how we treat everyone in His world as in His image and everything in His world as His creatures. But those who love not God, even if they seem to love, it has cruelty underneath which can easily spill over onto the surface. Because a life lived in empty things exposes an empty heart, it is merciful of God to give His dear ones incentive to work not only in the increased food that is gained but in the increased enjoyment of what is gained.
