It's an interesting question, right? God says He will in many different scriptures. However, there are specific things potentially mixed with "work" which He cannot bless, such as:
- Lying, because He is truth,
- Laziness, because He gives us the power to get wealth,
- Lust, because He loves self-control,
- Selfish desires and fleshly ambition, because He cares for people and commands us to do the same,
- Pride (unteachable attitude or boastfulness), because He says He will lift up the humble,
- Indecision or unfulfilled promises, because He Himself makes promises and has covenants,
- Poverty mentality, because He's waiting to pour out the storehouses of Heaven,
- Bitterness, because He freely forgives you,
- Unfaithfulness, because He is faithful,
- Deceitfulness, because things done in secret will be brought into the open,
- Justifying wrong actions, because He searches and knows our hearts, and
- Worldly wisdom, because His ways are true wisdom.
We say "work" with quotes because your work is not solely what you get paid to do. It can include serving, a volunteer ministry, what you do at home for your family, any kind of effort you put forth (to of course include jobs, businesses, etc.). There is a character/attitude and a work ethic that is a very necessary ingredient of God being able to bless the work of your hands.
