The First - and most important - key to winning at work is to rejoice in your labour, to find fulfillment in what you have been called to do, to derive satisfaction from your work. Eccl. 5:19
Most important, when you treat your work as a gift from the Lord, you become a problem solver in today's broken world - a light shinning in the darkness.
Such work is a gift from God in three powerful ways: First, it is a gift to you personally. It helps you discover and use dormant qualities. It exposes you to other people, forcing you to learn the art of communication - speaking with and listening to others.
Worthy work forces you to think outside yourself, provides a focus for your energy, and destroys self - absorption.
Second, your work is a gift from God for others around you. What you do contributes to something beyond yourself. You may be only one step in a complex process but without you and what you contribute, the process would be incomplete. When you do your part and more, those around you see your contribution and are inspired to live up to the standard that you set. Your work then becomes a gift to the world around you. It creates life, movement, progress, energy.
Third, your work is gift of God to your family. The way you work becomes the example they will follow. Therefore, through your diligence in your job, your family is led to be equally diligent in what they do. Of course, your job also provides the financial means through which you take care of your family's needs. As your financial resources expand, you are able to provide gifts that express your love and care for them, going beyond just meeting their basic needs for shelter, food, clothing.
Without your job, everything important to you would be jeopardized. Receive grace to work hard and change your perspective/mentality about work in Jesus Name.
