Many people think that work is a curse and a burden, but despite the stress and demands of work, God has a purpose for the work He has called us to do.
How many hours do you spend working? You spend your waking hours most of the time at work. You have three spheres of influence – family, your friends, and the workplace where you spend most of your time people don’t realize that work is designed by God.
It is the call of God. It is the worship of God. There is much theology that goes along the idea of work. Theology impacts your attitude, behavior, and even the way you work. Today, there is a “Great Resignation” around the world – because the pandemic has highlighted the stress of the usual demands of work. But it is possible to enjoy work if we have the right perspective!
