You could believe that your work has less of an eternal impact than that of a preacher or missionary. But God doesn't view it that way. Your labour is a ministry and essential to God's purposes to redeem fallen creation, no matter how it manifests itself day to day. As the days of creation show, God is well-versed in labour. He gave each person a special set of talents and passions so that we may work with him on his redeeming effort. The 260 readings in The Word Before Work?one for each workday of the year?will help you understand how your work is related to God's work in the world. The initial four weeks laid the groundwork by examining: What labour entails in the context of the biblical story why our work matters , five ways these truths inform how we should work today The rest of this one-year devotional takes you on a journey through Scripture to explore God?s perspective on the work he has called you to do. Whether you?re an entrepreneur, barista, stay-at-home parent, CEO, or coach, The Word Before Work affirms how God created you for work, why it matters, and the ways it holds significance both now and for eternity.
