Behold, what I have seen
to be good and fitting
is to eat and drink
and find enjoyment
in all the toil
which one toils
under the sun....
Ecclesiastes 5. 18
(Not just to find enjoyment
in the noble causes,
the fun, easy, or admirable tasks,
but even in the difficult stuff
and heavy labor.
To seek, uncover,
and explore enjoyment
in all our work.
Even in this.
How can we see this duty
with a different vision,
a fresh heart,
and His strength in it?
To grasp the good in it
changes how we accept it.
To see the face of God
reflected in it
alters how we do it
and how we approach anything
God has given us to do today.)
O LORD,
You have given us
another new day.
Help us to do our work
as a form of worship to You.
May we bring Your good
into this situation.
May Your glory be manifest
even in the hard stuff
or a simple task.
We are your sons and daughters.
May we live that way.
May we work that way.
Empower us
to direct it to You.
