Ecc. 3,4

When we were at Hope Temple in Findlay, Ohio, we had a Whirlpool plant across the road. When a shift change happened, the workers would pull out of the parking lot and “floor it.” They were like animals set free from a trap. “Vrooom,” they were off. Do you think they were happy to finally get away from the boring repetition of an assembly line job?

Solomon advises, ” there is nothing better than for people to enjoy their work, because that is their reward.”

Most people work to earn a living. When you enjoy what you do, it won’t really seem like work to you. It’s good advice for young people to find a profession that they enjoy … one that they retain a sense of pride and accomplishment from. God has given them certain skills and gifts. When they use them, they find greater meaning in life.
