“Our Heavenly Father has described His vast plan for His children by saying, ‘Behold, this is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man’ (Moses 1:39; emphasis added). Consider the significance of the Lord’s use of the word work. What He is doing so lovingly and redemptively is, nevertheless, work—even for Him! We, likewise, speak of ‘working out our salvation,’ … and of the ‘sweat of the brow.’ … These are not idle phrases. Instead, they underscore the importance of work. In fact, brethren, work is always a spiritual necessity even if, for some, work is not an economic necessity” (Maxwell, “Put Your Shoulder to the Wheel,” 37).
