Most
people go to college to qualify for a career that provides great benefits. Those
who graduate usually achieve their objective. Should money be the major reason
for working? Most everyone would say, "I work to make a living, to provide
for my family." To be able to work, to express and exercise your full
range of talents is indeed a privilege and a blessing from God.
Creative work is God's gift of love to
you. However when the gift of work is used primarily for self-gain, saturation begins
to dulls your sense of appreciation for what's been achieved. Saturation is indicative
of the need to redefine what's important. Using the gift of work for the betterment
others and the Kingdom of God avoids self-absorption and stagnation.
Accepting
work as God's gift is a step toward making essential changes. Work that benefits
others produces joyful feelings of accomplishment. It pleases God, as Hebrews
6:10 explains. "He will not forget your work and the love you have shown
him as you help his people and continue to help them." This is indeed a
godly choice.
