According to Conclusion #2, what attitude should accompany the enjoyment of the fruits of labor?

• A. Fear God Throughout Life
• B. Rejoice in the fruits of his labors while living in the fear of a Sovereign God
• C. Indifference toward life
• D. Despair about the future

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is that joy in what your work produces should be lived out with a reverent, trust-filled posture toward God. In Hebrew wisdom, the fear of the Lord isn’t a mood to lapse into; it’s the guiding stance of a life that recognizes God’s sovereignty over all things. When you enjoy the fruits of your labor, you do so with gratitude and humility, acknowledging that these blessings come from God and are under His control. That combination— rejoicing in what you’ve earned while continually living under the awe and obedience due to a Sovereign God—keeps pleasure from becoming pride or despair and keeps your perspective anchored in God’s sovereignty. The other options don’t capture that balanced stance: joy tied to reverence for God is the posture that fits what is being described, rather than fear alone, indifference, or despair.
