Our Work
These nine are from a site called Becoming Minimalist. Whole lotta truth packed in here. I’d like to share one every other day or so with you, filtered through Scripture, for your consideration and application —
3. Make Your Work Your Job.
Vicki Robin, in the first issue of Simple Money Magazine, draws a helpful distinction between “work” and “job.”
Your job, she would say, is what you do for money to provide shelter, clothing, and food.
Your work, on the other hand, is what you do to contribute to others, the causes you are passionate about, and the good you wish to bring into this world.
When your work is also your job, you have achieved a sweet spot in life.
— St. Paul: “Do your best. Work from the heart for your real Master, for God, confident that you’ll get paid in full when you come into your inheritance.
Keep in mind always that the ultimate Master you’re serving is Christ.
The sullen servant who does shoddy work will be held responsible.
Being a follower of Jesus doesn’t cover up bad work.” (Colossians 3:23-25)
