When We Are Happy With Our Work
Sometimes we work just to pay the bills. Sometimes because it’s our duty.
But when we are happy with our work, our lives are better—and the work is too.
“Serve the LORD with gladness; come into his presence with singing.” (Psalm 100:2)
Not every job or task is pleasant or fulfilling in itself. But it is easier to work with gladness when we understand how our work serves something beyond ourselves.
I had a grand-uncle by marriage who worked two forty-hour-a-week jobs. He kept one for thirty-five years and the other for twenty-five years.
When asked how he did it, he said he couldn’t provide for his family the way he wanted to with one job. So he was glad to work two because of what it allowed him to do.
We can work and serve with gladness when we understand how our work makes a difference—when we recognize that we serve God by serving one another.
