Good Friday morning! Yes, the day is here at last. Friday, the end of the work week for most folks; the start of another great weekend. What makes the weekend so great? The drudgery of the week of course! :-) In thinking about work, I often wonder if work must be the thing that this world makes it to be? When Adam began his first toil the cursed ground brought forth inedible thorns and weeds. Adam had to put forth the sweat of his brow in order to eat. That sounds much like what work is in these times many thousands of years later. However, we have been redeemed. The price of sin paid for by the blood of Jesus; who said, "my yoke is easy and my burden light." That sounds like our work for Jesus should be enjoyable, not something we hate. The work does still belong under a yoke though. Doing work for Jesus doesn't mean that we goof off all the time.
Work should give each of us a sense of accomplishment. Work should be something we look forward to each day, with the exception of the one set aside to worship God. Do we have to work six days for an employer then? Certainly not. You may find that you can get by on less days per week at a job and do other work on the days off. We seem to have too many employees in America right now, perhaps the time has come to share the work week in some cases. I realize that ideas of this kind might make me a wild-eyed radical in some circles. :-) Could you see sharing a job with someone? One person works 3-10 hour days and then the other person works the next three, with the shop or office closed on the seventh day. Something a little different for folks to think about today! :-0
Have a wonderful Friday in Christ Jesus!
