I've always seen people killing themselves working at a job without understanding the purpose of their slaving. Some people work two or three jobs because this is how they feel fulfilled. As a result, they become obsessed with their position doing whatever they can to receive promotion, gain control and find favor with their bosses. After being elevated to a higher position, they soon lose respect for their co-workers. This job becomes their God, telling them when to go home and what holidays to celebrate. The prideful employee now has no life without this job!
Others are working in the mindset of using their jobs to move on to greater things and reach out to other people. If we were to take our relationship with Christ as seriously as we take our jobs, the kingdom of God would be advancing to higher places every second of everyday!
