A Biblical View of Work in Light of the Gospel
For many people, their job is merely "the daily grind" needed to provide
for family or pay the bills. Yet our work is a vital means for
fulfilling God's purpose for our lives and displaying his grace to those
around us. We bear God's image in our workplaces, experiencing his
blessings and expressing his nature through our efforts, integrity,
creativity, generosity, and excellence. No earthly chore is without the
opportunity to observe his divine hand. No challenge in task or
relationship is without opportunity to represent God's heart.
In this book, author and pastor Bryan Chapell shares this biblical
perspective of vocation, explaining how God gives purpose to our work by
making it an instrument of his grace to our own hearts, as well as a way
of bringing his goodness and glory into our world. Chapell explains how
we can worship God by our work, rising above drudgery, duty, or
self-interest with the understanding that our jobs are unique callings
for displaying God's character and care. Our work is worship when we see
the glory beyond the grind, the mission in the mundane, and the grace at
work.
