Flawed Views of Work: Part II
In the book, “Your Work Matters to God,” the authors discuss three flawed views of work. They labeled the second as the “two story view.”
Years ago, I helped Chuck acquire a trash hauling business. When the acquisition was completed, our pastor publicly prayed an anointing and blessing over Chuck for his calling to the trash business.
Tears of joy filled the room as many laborers there realized that if a trash hauler was important to God, maybe their work was as well.
In Exodus 35:10, Moses told the craftsmen, “All who are skilled among you are to come and make everything the Lord has commanded.”
Realistically, society would not function with any degree of efficiency or effectiveness if only certain roles were blessed. Yet, many mistakenly believe there’s a hierarchy with pastors and missionaries at the top. However, the first person mentioned in the Bible as being filled with the Holy Spirit was Bezalel, a craftsman.
Even the most meager of jobs has value and purpose; otherwise, no one would be willing to pay for it. The Lord has blessed his people with skill, craftmanship, and the discipline to make a living from the two. There is inherent dignity in honest labor, regardless of what that labor may be.
Questions For Reflection
- Do you see the value in your work? What void does your job fill? Who has benefitted from your efforts? What would happen if your job was left undone?
- What do you want your legacy to be? How can you do that through your work? In what ways can you see the hand of God in your efforts?

About this Plan

God desires you to be all-in at work, not a compartmentalizer who separates their faith and work. The Lord planned on your business and intends to use it for his good. In this plan, we explore erroneous perspectives on what work is.
