Work, Labour and Wages – Is your 9 to 5 job part of God’s plan? – Part 5
At times especially in this economic climate it can seem that we are running on the hamster wheel and never accomplishing much. We pick up in the morning where we left of the day before and the work just keeps coming, always piling up, but there never seems to be an end. The era of a sea of office cubicals, manufacturing assembly lines and the like seem to go on forever. At times we may ask ourselves; Is this what life is all about? Why am I doing this job? Is there a greater purpose behind our daily work, or are we just grinding away until we go back to the place we came from? This week we will talk about our daily work and how it fits into the bigger plan, using the Bible as the go to reference book of choice…cont’d.
Last, taking a break now and again from work is important. Of course the Bible says work 6 days and rest the 7th (Exodus 34:21). However in this modern world of technology and 24 hour work days, with companies opening their doors 24/7 in some cases, it makes this command challenging for some people. But if you can start your rest in your mind first, developing your own view of what rest looks like you will have a much easier time creating an environment at work or at home that reflects the rest you are looking for. This topic of rest will also be spoken of in more detail in a later post.
So enjoy your work, and look forward to rest! To learn more about developing plans for your work and personal life, read the book, Seven Steps to Freedom. Available today!
