Yes — God cares about our daily lives and work, not just our spiritual lives.
God is concerned with the whole man — body, soul, and spirit — and His attention reaches every moment of the day. Paul calls believers “labourers together with God,” and Les Feldick shows that God is personally involved in our everyday experience, including the work of our hands.
Exodus 35:22 — God’s people brought their material treasures for the tabernacle, showing that practical, everyday resources are part of His work.
1 Corinthians 3:9 — Paul explicitly calls believers “labourers together with God,” tying daily work to God’s activity.
Romans 8:28 — All things work together for good for the believer — including our everyday circumstances.
The Bible explicitly reveals that God’s concern extends to practical, everyday work. In Exodus 35, Moses told the congregation to bring an offering to the Lord of gold, silver, brass, blue, purple, scarlet, fine linen, and other materials for the tabernacle. The people responded with willing hearts, and verse 22 records that “they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold.” God’s work involved material goods and the labor of ordinary people. In the New Testament, Paul uses work language to describe believers: “For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building” (1 Corinthians 3:9). He also says every man’s work will be tested by fire (1 Corinthians 3:13). Romans 8:28 assures believers, “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Scripture, therefore, places daily labor and life circumstances within God’s concern.
Les Feldick teaches that God is just as concerned about the body as He is about the soul and spirit, because God deals with the whole man — body, soul, and spirit (Clip 7). He emphasizes that God hears each believer as an individual, 24 hours a day, and knows all about us (Clip 2). Romans 8:28 is applied by Les to the believer’s “everyday moment by moment experience,” where God works all things for the believer’s good (Clip 5). Les sees believers as “laborers in our day to day existence,” cultivated by God just as a farmer cares for his crop (Clip 1). He insists we are not to sit idly but to labor in God’s work “just like that honey bee” (Clip 3). He also stresses that God looks at the motivation behind everything we do — work done for God’s glory is gold, silver, and precious stones, while ego-driven work ends up as wood, hay, and stubble (Clips 4 and 6). In the Exodus account, Les points out that after Israel’s sin with the golden calf, God cleansed and forgave the people, and then they willingly brought gold, silver, brass, and other materials for the tabernacle (Clip 0). This shows that material, practical work was part of the worship of God.
Yes. In Exodus 35, God commanded Moses to take an offering for the tabernacle — gold, silver, brass, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine linen — and the people brought these materials willingly. Verse 22 records that “both men and women” came with willing hearts and brought jewelry of gold. This was not merely spiritual activity; it involved real, hands-on material and labor for God’s sanctuary.
Les Feldick says God is “just as concerned about the body” as He is about the soul and spirit. He believes God deals with the whole man, not just the spiritual side, and he notes that in the eternal state believers will have new bodies. So God’s care covers every part of a person — body, soul, and spirit — in this life and the life to come.
Les teaches that God looks at the motivation behind what we do. Work that is done for God’s glory is like gold, silver, and precious stones, while work done to enhance the ego ends up as wood, hay, and stubble. Every corner of life is included — Les says this “boils down into every corner of our life.” God examines why we do what we do.
Material Offerings for the Tabernacle
Les points out that after Israel was forgiven, both men and women willingly brought gold, silver, brass, and other materials for the tabernacle — showing that practical, material work is part of serving God.
Believers as Laborers with God
Les describes believers as laborers in their day-to-day existence, with God cultivating them like a farmer cares for his crop.
God’s Personal Attention to Every Believer
Les teaches that God hears every believer as an individual, 24 hours a day, and that God searches the heart and knows the mind of the Spirit.
God’s Work Left in Human Hands
Les says God has left His work in the hands of ordinary mortal men and women, and we are not to sit and do nothing but to labor in His work.
Work That Survives the Fire
Les explains that rightly motivated work is gold, silver, and precious stones, while ego-driven work becomes wood, hay, and stubble — so even our work’s motivation matters to God.
All Things Work for Good in Everyday Life
Les applies Romans 8:28 to the believer’s everyday moment-by-moment experience, showing that God is working all circumstances together for the believer’s good.
God Looks at Our Motivation
Les says God looks at the motivation behind everything we do, in every corner of life — whether it is done to please God and bring Him glory.
God Cares for the Whole Man
Les teaches that God is concerned with the whole man — body, soul, and spirit — and that this care continues even into the life to come with new bodies.
Exodus 35:4-5: And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD commanded, saying, Take ye from among you an offering unto the LORD: whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the LORD; gold, and silver, and brass,
God commanded the people to bring material goods for the tabernacle — showing that practical possessions and labor are part of His service.
Exodus 35:22: And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered offered an offering of gold unto the LORD.
Both men and women brought their material wealth willingly for God’s work, showing that daily, practical giving is recognized by God.
1 Corinthians 3:9: For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
Paul calls believers co-laborers with God, directly tying our daily work to God’s own work.
1 Corinthians 3:13: Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
God will test the quality of every believer’s work, so even our daily labor has eternal significance.
Romans 8:28: And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
This assures believers that God is working in all circumstances — including everyday life — for their good.
No. Les Feldick teaches that God is concerned with the whole man — body, soul, and spirit. Scripture also calls believers “labourers together with God,” so daily work is not separate from spiritual life.
Yes. God searches the heart and knows the motivation behind what we do. Paul says every person’s work will be tested by fire, and Les emphasizes that God looks at why we do what we do.
Yes. Les Feldick says believers are laborers with God in their day-to-day existence. He also points out that the Bible describes believers as God’s husbandry, cultivated and cared for by Him.
