A man by the name of Bill Gold said it like this: “I’ve met a few people in my time who were enthusiastic about hard work. And it was just my luck that all of them happened to be men I was working for at the time.”
Abraham Lincoln said, “My father taught me to work. He did not teach me to love it.”
Dr. Charles Mayo of the famous Mayo Clinic once said, “There is no fun like work."
Inventor Thomas Edison said, “I never did a day’s work in my life. IT WAS ALL FUN.”
Sir Theodore Martin said, “Work is the true elixir of life. The busiest man is the happiest man.”
Do you enjoy your job? One of the hardest things in all the world is to do what Paul said in Colossians and work a job "with all your heart as unto the Lord and not unto man" even when you are not particularly passionate about what you do or the people you work for or with. If you struggle with this I want to challenge you to change your perspective. Stop working for a paycheck and start working to make a difference. Even if you are dissatisfied with where you are at in terms of vocation if you will honor God by exhibiting a good attitude and a solid work ethic, I firmly believe that God will honor you by bringing fulfillment on your current job or blessing you with another job that you can be passionate about.
Have a great Labor Day!
