wait... you only want to work hard until your thirty?

True, working hard is a sign of good character. It is also responsible. I agree, the Bible seems to indicate that hard work is important... We have passages such as 2 Thes. 3: 7- 10 for example seems to speak of both physical and spiritual work: "For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example, because we did not act in an undisciplined manner among you, nor did we eat anyone’s bread without paying for it, but with labor and hardship we kept working night and day so that we would not be a burden to any of you; not because we do not have the right to this, but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you, so that you would follow our example. For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either."
