Well, thats another hard shift over, a few nice days off now. Talking of work and hard shifts, it reminded me of the Fall.
Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree
of which I commanded you,˜You shall not eat of it, cursed is the ground because of you;
in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life; thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you;
and you shall eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your face
you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken;
for you are dust, and to dust you shall return. Genesis 3:17-19 (ESV).
In Light of work described in the Garden of Eden compared to the Scripture verses above, does that explain how we soemtimes feel about work now?
How should we view our work? take into consideration Paul's exhortation in Colossians:
"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men" (Col 3:23) ESV.
Hopefully this will not turn into a raging argument, but something for us all to have our say and help understand what is going on, and how we should view work.
Looking forward to a constructive and edifying topic conversation
