Take This Job And Shove It

Johnny Paycheck made those words famous years ago in his hit song, "Take This Job And Shove It." Those words are still resonating with many of us today. Americans hate their jobs more than ever before in the past 20 years, with fewer than half saying they are satisfied according to an MSNBC article.

The article does not talk about Christian or non-Christian workers but I believe this feeling of job dissatisfaction is true in both groups.

This is too bad.

In our “have it your way” society, we are too caught up in wondering “what’s in it for me?” Instead of being upset about our pay or our hours or the people we work for and with, what would happen if we looked at our jobs with a renewed sense of purpose?

Our jobs are our opportunities to show our coworkers and our clients what being a Christian is all about. Our work place truly is our mission field. And you know what? If you start looking at it that way, you will like your job more – I guarantee it!
