Though Joseph was sold as a slave, then thrown in prison, it's clear to see he enjoyed his work. Hmm!
Monday morning! WORK - ugh! Can't wait until Friday! Hmm! If you hate your work (job/career) maybe you're looking to it for all the wrong reasons. It's a means to an end, not an end to all means. It was not given to define us, classify us, or grant boasting rights. It was given to us as a meaningful way to be productive and happy as we support God's kingdom work and the family he blesses us with. When these two ideas are understood and become our focus, work then becomes a joy because we 'get to' assist in the greater good, and not have to feel like 'indentured servants' for someone else. This is what we were made for.
Until tomorrow...
Pastor Botts
"....I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil -this is the gift of God." - Ecclesiastes 3:12-13
