The Way You Work
Nearly everyone is constantly pursuing personal happiness. We don’t fully understand, or we don’t choose to acknowledge that happiness is based on happenstances, that is to say, external influences of which we may or may not have complete control over. If our happiness depends on those factors we do not have control over, we can never be truly happy. We need to focus our happiness on those situations where we have at least some control element. Let’s consider your workplace regardless of whether you work from home, an office, a factory, a construction site, or a fast-food business. Not every job or location will be ideal, and some days will be better than others. It depends more on the way you work. If you focus on the good that your work brings to the world, it will allow you to take pride in a job well done, regardless of how mundane it may appear. All work serves a purpose and has value. Your job may be doing laundry, mopping up spills, repetitive assembly work, pounding a hammer, or performing heart surgery. It all has a purpose. Instead of focusing on where you work, focus on the way you work and how it does bring value to others. In addition to the happiness that your work brings to others, it also can bring happiness to you because you know you have done your best with what you have been tasked to complete. In addition to happiness, which will be allusive at times, as Christ-followers, we need to seek peace and joy from within. You can have peace and joy regardless of the storms that may surround you. Only God can provide true peace and joy. When you find peace and joy, it is then you will also find happiness.

I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.
