God @ Work | When Work Seems Fruitless
Ecclesiastes 2:17–26 // How do we respond when work is a place of stress and disappointment or a boring, gray place? We usually respond with either cynicism or idealism – putting too little or too much value in our work. The healthy perspective is worshiping God through our work. Focus on the completed work of Jesus on the cross and allow Him to use our jobs to create eternal significance.
Burn out happens when there is a gap between reality and expectation. Where is there potential for such a gap in your sphere?
How do you resist the temptation to find meaning and value primarily in your work place?
Do you tend more towards cynicism or idealism? How does this play out for you?
