#God created people to have power. They were not created to escape or window-shop or play video games all day. People were made to work. Much misunderstanding on work exists because of confusion about what we are created to be and do. God makes sure we understand that work is a vital piece of who we are. When we find ourselves at work, whether 9-to-5, a nightshift, in a office cubicle or at home, we shouldn't think we missed our purpose. We are actually doing what God created us to do!
Your work is a chance to imitate God by bringing goodness, order, light, and life into the lives of others. Notice that God's work in creation doesn't seem at all like drudgery. "And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good" (Genesis 1:31). When we see God's purpose in our work then our attitude about our own work will reflect Him. Work can be a delight!
