Money Management Principle: Enjoy Your Work!

Work is a gift from God.

Work is not just a means of earning a living; it is a gift from God. Therefore, it’s crucial to find joy and satisfaction in your work.

“Even so, I have noticed one thing, at least, that is good. It is good for people to eat, drink, and enjoy their work under the sun during the short life God has given them, and to accept their lot in life. And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it. To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life—this is indeed a gift from God.” (Ecclesiastes 5:18-19)

It is a great blessing to be able to earn an income, build wealth, and have good health so that you can enjoy life.

Take Time Out to Enjoy the Fruit of Your Labor

Don’t just work yourself to the bone.

Make sure that you take time out to smell the roses.

Make sure that you enjoy the journey.

Count your blessings.

Be grateful for what you have. 

Take a moment to reflect on your daily life. Are you finding joy in your work and daily tasks? If not, what changes can you make to bring more joy into your life?

Do Your Best

When it comes to your work, be a person of excellence. Put your heart into it. Work with purpose and passion. Don’t just go through the motions; do your best. 

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” (Colossians 3:23-24)

Remember that you are working for God.

Set a good example.

Work to please God in all you do, and He will reward you.
