Community Post: When You Feel Like Your Work Doesn’t Matter to God
Blog / Produced by The High Calling
Not everyone is in a fulfilling, kingdom-advancing, affirming job. In fact, few people are. Most of us are subject to employment that is often frustrating and seemingly inconsequential.
High Calling Special Projects Editor, Laura Boggess, recently returned from a conference where she heard a speaker encourage people to align their professions with their faith. That sounds good, unless you are in a job where you just don’t feel like your work matters.
She wisely gives this advice:
- You are exactly where He wants you to be. But don’t stop asking. You never know when that might change.
- Your work does matters. You carry His image into the lives of the people you touch.
- Sometimes, it’s just about planting seeds and not about a harvest.
