Two
objectives for working are to attain satisfaction and a earn a livelihood. The
degree of satisfaction you experience is linked to your attitude toward work. A
positive attitude will enhance your chances for satisfaction in other areas of
your life. The happier you are with work, the higher your chances for finding
meaning and purpose for your time here on earth.
What are you trying to extract from
your work? Is it just a means to an end, a way to get the necessities of life
and other things you want? Is work a channel for retirement and security for
old age? I'm reminded of Jesus' parable about the farmer who reaped such an
abundant harvest that he had to build new barns to store the overflow.
His attitude was to eat, drink, and be happy,
but he failed to consider God's plan for his future. The point Jesus made is that
your attitude toward work may not produce the rewards you expect. However deciding
that your work is God gift to you can be the attitude you take to work and pass
on to others. What could be more pleasing to the Lord Jesus Christ?
