Are you ready for work? Many of us white collar workers don't understand the concept of work sweat. We are in air conditioning all day, or some climate controlled environment, and we call it work. Don't shoot me! In the case of Solomon's days many worked a sweat.
1 Kings 5:14, And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month in shifts: they were one month in Lebanon and two months at home; Adoniram was in charge of the labor force.
Adoniram, as the part of Solomon's cabinet responsible for the labor force, mobilized the required human resource. Everything is well planned and executed. This is an important project to build the first non-tent and permanent temple of God. Especially when you have that many people "sweat" mobilized. Having said this many ministries do not plan well.
It is time we plan everything well and not leave anything to chance. Of course, God is the mover and shaker of events and people, but we have our part to play. Once God gives the vision, He is ready to direct us in everything. Including, the detailed planning of the work. In this regard I am reminded of the favored son of Jacob, Joseph, who had great wisdom to plan Egypt's response to the forecast famine of the world.
Father, help me plan well.
