9. Summary of the Text
We have a right to work, but don’t
have a right to the results of our
action.
We have to work as hard as we can,
give the work our best quality effort,
then step back and let the results take
care of themselves.
This book offers an interesting
approach that can save us from a lot
of misery and bring us closer to God.
10. Central Idea of the Text
Work is worship. Worship helps you
to meet God.
