2 Thessalonians 3:11-12 ESV

For we hear that some among you walk in idleness, not busy at work, but busybodies. Now such persons we command and encourage in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living.

I believe God designs human to work, to contribute to society and spend time productively. God has created the earth He gives human the task to harness the earth, beautify it and create a better life for themselves. Thus we should keep ourselves busy at work, earn our living and have extra to support others.

Additionally, this verse warns us to avoid being busy with non-productive, no value work. Wasting out time is a sin, we need to make the best of our time and do the most productive things.
