Work

Work is an essential thread in the fabric of society. Individuals feel a sense of purpose because they work. Communities bond together because they work together. Nations are built because people work. The difference between 2022 A.D. and 2022 B.C. is the sum of every person’s work. What is the purpose of work? Work is one of the means God gave us to steward creation, serve others, and glorify God. As Paul wrote, “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.” Colossians 3:23 Work is not what we do to gain power over others. Work is what we do to empower others. When we work according to our God-given design, we fulfill our God-given purpose.
