work is usually a dreadful, undesirable activity that seems to go on and on and on...does it have to be? is it supposed to be? the Bible's answer to both of these is NO! through a couple different studies God has reminded me that He gave us work, as a way to express our creativity and labor with our hands and minds. it was how man was created and was a delight before the fall, not a result of sin. it is in God's nature to work, as He shows us through creation, and we are stamped in His image, designed to labor and create.
soooo...my new goal is to change my attitude about work, be the best employee i can be and do it solely for His glory and honor. not to strive to better myself and status but so other's can see a difference in me. it also makes me realize that this life should be spent doing work we love, not in a job we detest, something we look forward to each day. so if you're not doing that, and you have the opportunity to change...change! and if you're like us, keep striving for the day when you can do something you love and enjoy the journey.
