Employers negotiate work contracts with individuals and unions and the terms and conditions agreed to are then implemented into an agreement between the Employer and Employee. Part of the negotiations will likely include benefits that workers will be entitled to as part of their payment package. These may include medical and dental benefits, child care benefits or retirement plan benefits. Benefits enhance the life of the employees who receive them.
In the program of AA we are told about a number of promises that those who’ve walked the road of sobriety before us have discovered to be true. In the Bible we find many promises about life together with God, rather than life on our own. Living according to the wisdom of God has more benefits than we would ever have space to list. Here are just a few of those promised benefits:
JOY: Joyful is the person who finds wisdom, the one who gains understanding. (Proverbs 3:13 NLT) A GOOD LIFE: Grow a wise heart—you'll do yourself a favor; keep a clear head—you'll find a good life. (Proverbs 19:8 MSG)
STRAIGHT TALKING: Wisdom will save you from evil people, from those whose words are twisted. (Proverbs 2:12 NLT)
SAFE AND SATISFYING WAY OF LIFE: Store my commands in your heart. If you do this, you will live many years, and your life will be satisfying. (Proverbs 3:1-2 NLT)
PROTECTION AND LOVE: Get wisdom; develop good judgment. Don’t forget my words or turn away from them. Don’t turn your back on wisdom, for she will protect you. Love her, and she will guard you. Getting wisdom is the wisest thing you can do! And whatever else you do, develop good judgment. (Proverbs 4:5-7 NLT)
