What do I mean by that?
God has blessed us with work to do..he has given us all a lot. In our short time here on earth, we must enjoy the work that we do or we will never be happy.
"And this, too, is a very serious problem. People leave the world no better off than when they came. All their hard work is for northing-like working for the wind. Throughout their lives, they live under a cloud-frustrated, discouraged and angry." (Ecclesiastes 5:16-17)
It's a crazy thought...to leave this world no better off than how we came into it. We didn't bring anything with us, and we can't take anything with us. We work so hard for all things things in life, and we might as well enjoy what we do and what we have because we can't take it with us.
"Even so, I have noticed that one thing, at least, that is good. It is good for people to eat, drink, and enjoy their work under the sun during their short life God has given them, and to accept their lot in life. And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it. To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life-this is indeed a gift from God. God keeps such people so busy enjoying life that they take no time to brood over the past." (Ecclesiastes 5:18-20)
It's an incredible gift from God to have the opportunity to work and have a good life. Regardless of your financial status, what country you might be in, the type of work you do, we all have been given work from God.
When we enjoy the work we do and the lots that God has given us, we get so busy enjoying life that we should never take any time to think about the past, or unhappy times.
If you are someone reading this and thinking that you don't like your job at all, and maybe it's not for you, that is completely fine. God has an amazing plan for all of us. We are called to be obedient to God, love others, and trust in him. If your lot isn't what you thought it would be, God's got an even better one waiting for you.
