ˇ°If you could work in the job of your dreams, what
would it be?
Start By Asking
God!
The
Bible says that enjoying your work is a gift given
to you by God.
Then I realized that it is good and proper for a man
to eat and drink, and to find satisfaction in his
toilsome labor under the sun during the few days of life
God has given him - for this is his lot. Moreover, when
God gives any man wealth and possessions, and enables
him to enjoy them, to accept his lot and be happy in his
work- this is a gift of God.
Ecclesiastes 5:18-19
