YOUR JOY IS IN YOUR WORK

Of course, many people dread they're jobs. A lot of us don't like our work and wish we could just be independently wealthy and not have to work. But the truth is, we were designed to work. From the day we were created we were intended to be productive. Gen. 2:15 "The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it."

I believe it is important for us to remember that our value is determined by our being. That is, we are valuable, because we are God's most prized creation, created in His image, and purchased but the blood of Jesus. But our joy and satisfaction come from accomplishing good things. These things could be as simple as emptying the dishwasher to as complex as walking someone through the truths of scripture. We are called to "do" things, not only to "be" holy, children of God.

So get to work!
