Work: A Sacred Calling. Do you agree? Do you disagree? How exactly do you feel about the work that you do? And I’m not just talking about work you get paid for. I’m talking about your work as a mother or a father. I’m talking about the labor of the retiree. I’m talking about the toil of a teen and the chores of a child. All of us work even if we don’t get a paycheck for us.
Do you see your work as a sacred calling or is it more of a grind? Do you find yourself wondering if your work even matters? Do you find your work mundane or ordinary, without any sense of true meaning?
This weekend, we’ll be looking at Ecclesiastes 2:17-26. Here Solomon struggles with his own work and wonders what the point is. It seemed so meaningless to him. We want to reclaim what is special and sacred and holy about the work that God gives us to do.
