2 Thessalonians 3:10 reminds us that if anyone isn't willing to work then they should not eat.

Because of Adam’s disobedience, even the ground came under the judgment of God. Picture Adam and Eve, before the Fall, waking up in the morning eager to work with the fruit and vegetables. Everything they touched was good and plentiful. They must have found pleasure in their daily chores. After the Fall, the produce was still good; but, thorns and thistles now grew up in the midst of the produce. This made their task much more difficult. Much of the pleasure work brought was replaced by pain and discomfort. 

Og Mandino, author of The Greatest Success in the World , says, "Be grateful for your tasks and their demands. If it were not for your work, no matter how distasteful it may seem, you could neither eat so much, nor relish so pleasantly, nor sleep so soundly, nor be so healthful, nor enjoy the secure smiles of gratitude from those who love you for what you are: not for what you do."

So, "Whatever you do, do it from the heart, as something done for the Lord and not for people, knowing that you will receive the reward of an inheritance from the Lord."—Colossians 3:23-24 CSB

There is blessing in work.
