Importance

Importance "I saw that there is nothing better than that all should enjoy their work, for that is their lot; who can bring them to see what will be after them? " (Ecclesiastes 3:22) A job can provide great satisfaction. As Christians, we must guard against the temptation to live for our careers instead of God. Our relationship with the Lord and the people around us will outlast our jobs. Luke 12:15 speaks to us about greed and our attitude toward possessions: "Take care! Be on guard against all kinds of greed, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of possessions." Christ tells us to remember what is crucial as we approach our work and the people we encounter daily. We will no longer have a job at some point in our lives. That does not mean we will not have a career. There will be service to humanity, family, friends, and the Lord. It is not that lifestyle is not important because it is. However, a lifestyle can be empty and unrewarding without good health and strong faith. Thought for Today: Today, let us make every part of our lives an arena for deepening our faithfulness to God. and our fellow man. Prayer for Today: Dear Lord and Father, please help me have a healthy attitude toward my daily activities and relationships. Please show me how to put money and possessions aside and the people around me upfront. Amen
