“So I decided there is nothing better than to enjoy food and drink and find satisfaction in work….these pleasures are from the hand of God.”
– Ecclesiastes 2:24 NLT
For many, work is on our minds from the time we rise to the moment we lay our head on our pillow at night. Though never intended to be this way, we were designed to work as a part of our earthly mission. It is on us to discover and exert effort in our areas of expertise and talent, and take delight in the work we accomplish. God gifted us with the ability to learn and understand what our passions and obligations are, and express gratitude for our work – through our joy – because we were created to be God’s hands and feet in this world. Pray that we take whatever pleasure we can from the work we must do.
