Finding
meaningful work is one of the most important endeavors men and women seek in
life. Ecclesiastes 5:19 specifically says that to be happy in one's work is a
gift from God. The most important objective, although not always given first place,
is finding peace with God by loving and seeking him with all your heart, soul,
and strength.
Contentment with work depends on your motivation
for work. My mother's job was being a
homemaker. She viewed this work as her career and still in her late seventies
stayed busy doing what she defined as her job. She believed her work was a gift
from God. Do you see your career as a means of helping others to be successful,
either directly or indirectly?
Change
must include altering your attitude about work. How would your attitude be affected
if you believed your work was a gift from God? If this were possible, you might
be more motivated to use your knowledge, skills, and wisdom to benefit the next
generation destined to take your place. This would be a great choice for God
and others.
