When Work becomes a Job
Do you love your work? Can you even say you like it? Unfortunately, many people fall in bed dreading getting up in the morning to face another day on the job. When asked why they don't change jobs, they say, "It's only six more years until I retire," "I can't find anything that pays as well," or "I don't know what else I could do."
If you're in this kind of rut, I have good news for you. Did you know that one of God's promises to each one of His beloved children is a fresh, new enjoyment of their work?
It's true. The Bible tells us that before the beginning of time Wisdom (Jesus) was beside God as a master and director of His work (Proverbs 8:30-31).
As His child you, too, are entitled to partake in the rich blessings that come with enjoyment and fulfillment in your work. God promises you, ""…My chosen and elect shall long make use of and enjoy the work of their hands. They shall not labor in vain...Whatever may be your task, work at it heartily (from the soul), as (something done) for the Lord and not for men" (Isaiah 65:22-23; Colossians 3:23, AMPC)
God loves you and wants to answer your prayer. Say this prayer with me:
Heavenly Father, I repent of considering what You have given me to do as drudgery or just for money. Grant me a new anointing of joy, delight and fruitfulness in what I do, that I may do all things from now on as unto You. I praise You for this fresh start! In Jesus' Name, Amen.
