3 Short Thoughts on Work


1. Humans are meant to work. If we are not giving our efforts and our selves to something (or someone/some people) then we will fall apart and waste away. To not work is to waste.

2. Work existed before the Fall, exists now, and will exist eternally for humans. This isgood! Let us see the effort of our hands and feet as worship because that is exactly what it is.

3. Since work is worship then what we do for work is incredibly important. Our attitude about our work is also incredibly important. We must work with joy and thanks.

Sidenote: The term Liturgy actually means "the work of the people." This is evidence that worship and work are deeply connected. Church practice is work just as career practice is worship. Our doing is our worshipping. Our deeds prove our love. How will we work today? How will we worship?
