]]> The way we think about work is broken. We often see it as a necessary evil, but scripture presents a different way to think about it (⁠Colossians 3:23-24⁠). Though it is imperfect, there is goodness in work, and we should be wise about how we think about and how we engage in work (⁠Proverb 12:11⁠)(⁠Proverb 22:29⁠). God created us to work (⁠Genesis 2:15⁠), but it has been corrupted in the fall. We can still find meaning and joy in working diligently (⁠Proverb 13:4⁠). Offer our labor to the Lord (⁠Colossians 3:23-24⁠). One of the important parts of that is to honor the rhythm of work and rest (⁠Proverb 23:4⁠)(⁠Proverb 15:19⁠).

Recognize that Jesus spent most of His adult life as a craftsman. In our times of labor, it may help to think of Christ joyously serving and honoring in his vocation of carpentry. (⁠Psalm 90:17⁠)
