Ecclesiastes 5:19 (New Living Translation)
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.


For the last few weeks I have been asking the Lord to change my attitude about my job. I have a job that pays me enough to meet my financial responsibilities with a little left over for other things. I am good at my job and have the ability to excel given half a chance. This job is not fun, fulfilling or edifying and the worst part of it is that I have let the job affect other areas of my life. I sometimes come home from work cranky and I am dealing with some major disappointments from this past year when I interviewed with other companies and for various reasons I was not chosen for the new position. As I was studying these verses on blessing I see where I need to look at my job for what it does give me and see it as a gift from God. My job is a BLESSING.
