The Biblical perspective of work has for years defined how Christians should regard or regard work in general and apply certain principles while working. The implication is that these views have also impacted a large population and faith-based institutions on how the view and regard work (Entwistle, 2021). Several Bible verses talk about work and address various aspects of work. As a DNP student, the Christian worldview of work also affects my approach to work and, therefore, my approach to the DPI project. The Book of Proverbs 6:6-8 uses nature to describe how people should consider work. The verse advises the sluggards to visit ants and watch their ways; they do not have any commander, ruler, or overseer, yet they store the provisions in summer and gather enough food. This shows that people should be self-driven and do their work without supervision (Serrano, 2020). The Book of Proverbs 13:4 also talks about the lazy man who just desires but has nothing. It contrasts it with the diligent individuals who shall be made rich. This verse also admonishes individuals not to be lazy but to be diligent in any kind of task they are to perform or assigned to do (Barker et al., 2020). In the same vein, the Book of 2 Timothy 2:5-6 also indicates that whoever labors must be the first partaker of the fruits and an indication that hard work is rewarded. Colossians 3:23-24 also talks about doing any kind of work an individual chooses to do heartily with all of the heart. Therefore, these verses all require that people look at work positively and that individuals should embrace and diligently approach and do their work. The discussed Christian worldview of work affects my approach to the DPI project. The DPI project is a long project with various challenges which should be overcome for success. Therefore, I consider the DPI project as my work and approach it diligently. I also try to work hard and collaborate with the DPI project supervisor to accomplish various aspects of the work in a timely manner and ensure that I adhere to the laid down timelines (VanderKooi et al., 2018).
