Bakht Singh emphasizes the promise of God to open the heavens and bless the work of our hands, highlighting the importance of being active and diligent in our endeavors to receive God's blessings. He warns against laziness, stating that God cannot bless those who are idle and encourages believers to engage in constructive and lawful work, seeking God's favor upon it.

“The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands.” (Deuteronomy 28:12) This is the word of the Lord for all His children today. This is “thus saith the Lord” for this day. Our present text tells us that, “The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands”. Let us not miss this very important point. God has promised to bless all the work of our hands. Many of us are asking for the blessing of God in our life. We are fasting and praying for the blessing. Many of us are suffering with financial problems. We are praying hard and asking everybody to pray for us. But strangely nothing happens! All our prayers seem to go waste. We wonder why the heavens are so silent and indifferent. But the Lord has promised to bless the work of our hands. Let us not forget this. We must be doing something in order to enable God to bless us. God must see us doing some work, so that He can bless that work. If we do nothing and simply sit back asking the Lord to bless us, He cannot bless us. God hates laziness. God cannot bless lazy people. If He begins to bless lazy people, He will be encouraging the laziness and spoiling the whole world. God appreciates hardworking people. Even God Himself is very active all the time. Of course the Bible tells us that God rested on the seventh day. But that did not continue for long. When Adam and Eve fell in sin, God began to work again. He is still working today. When He incarnated as Man, Jesus Christ, He was all the time active in working. He was not lazy! In fact the main accusation of Jewish leaders against Jesus was that, He was not resting even on the Day of Rest (Sabbath)! Jesus justifies this by saying “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working.” (John 5:17) Just think of this! Our heavenly father is always at His work. Even our precious Lord is busy at His work. If so, how can the children be lazy and inactive? Let me tell you my dear brothers and sisters, no lazy person can be a good Christian. If any Christian practices laziness he cannot please the God and he cannot walk with God. Lazy people cannot be friends of God. Let us be doing something constructive and something that is good and legal. Let us work and ask God’s blessing upon it. God will surely bless us. Amen and Hallelujah!
