Work is a great thing! I’m at the Colorado Springs Subaru dealer this morning having a recalled air bag sensor replaced, and I’m always in awe. There are hundreds of workers here selling cars, fixing cars, stocking parts, tracking all of it, etc., etc. The nice young man who checked me in called it an “organized circus.”

The fellow customer I sat next to is studying to be in the computer field. Another great line of work. He wants to go into cybersecurity. How critical that is! He seemed a little embarrassed when he told me his former job was garbage collection. But I told him that is a VERY important job! I’ve been in countries that didn’t have it.

Let’s give thanks for all the workers that make our lives possible. And let’s give thanks for our own privilege of work. Our work matters.

Six days you shall labor, and do all your work. (Exodus 20.9, ESV)

Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. (Colossians 3.23, 24)
