Big Question: Why do I have to work?
Good question... The fact is u don't HAVE to work, but you were Made to work. Work and production is a part of our purpose in life.
Genesis--- God created Adam to work the garden.
Genesis--- we were made in the image of God to do what God does...and He works
Sabbath---is a rest from our daily work to reconnect in our relationship with God (it's a staff meeting).
Proverbs --- if a man won't work, he won't eat (I like to eat... But also it is our responsibility to make a living)
More importantly...it is instructed by God that we are to make a positive difference in our work...
One who is slack in his work is brother to one who destroys. (Proverbs 18:9 NIV84)
Usually work is not the problem... Attitude, unappreciation, lack of productivity, and other "thorns & thistles" are the problem. When w love what we work on, it's not work. Finding the desire to work is more an inside job than an issue of labor.
What if God was working with u today? That might change the way we look a work.
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, (Colossians 3:23 NIV84)
Step back today and reexamine what God is doing through your work today. What are you learning? How might He use you at your work? If you are without a job, what can you do to serve or support His work on earth today?
Work is a privilege...choose to look at it that way today and see how it changes your life.
