Genesis 1:1 shows us that work is an activity of God, before anything else. His work ethic from the beginning, an example given to us through creation, sets the stage for a life of work. However, as humans, we recognize the challenge of working in a healthy way. The fall of man has made work a confusing undertaking in many ways. We have difficulty connecting our work to how we serve others, making our work feel meaningless and frustrating. We struggle to properly identify and accept who God tells us we are, and oftentimes we attempt to define ourselves through what we do, and how we do it. But, if we are willing to take our time, listen to God’s direction, and embrace our identity as sons and daughters through Christ, the opportunity to work well is attainable.
