Reframing Our Work

Too often we view our work as a curse rather than a divine calling. Renowned author Dorothy Sayers is precisely right in observing that we need “a thoroughgoing revolution in our whole attitude to work.” Namely, that our work should be viewed not as a necessary drudgery to be undergone for the purpose of making money, but as a way of life in which we find personal delight and magnify God’s glory.

Sayers believes work, “should be thought of as a creative activity undertaken for the love of the work itself; and that... [men and women], made in God’s image, should make things, as God makes them, for the sake of doing well a thing that is well worth doing.”

With the right attitude your work can be a source of personal blessing and a vehicle for glorifying God.

"Train yourself to recognize the hand of God in everything that happens to you."- Andrew Murray (1828-1917)

Matthew 22:34-40 "Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: 'Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?' Jesus replied: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.'"
