We often hear that our work somehow has dignity. In Christian circles, we even are told that there is a mandate way back in Genesis 1:28 which cryptically implies that our work is good and given to us before sin even entered the world. It turns out that chapter 2 of Genesis has three much more explicit and easy-to-remember points that drive home both the goodness and beauty of the gift of work.
Embracing a Posture of Gentleness in the Workplace
Lately, I’ve experienced an especially busy and stressful season at work and at home. After 18 difficult months, I’ve noticed that on top of the physical and emotional exhaustion, I am—as I’m sure many others are as well—making more mistakes, more forgetful, and finding myself increasingly challenged to stay mindful of all the good God has given amidst these hard times.
Continuing to heal and move forward toward a “new normal” begs for grace at home, at church, and at work. The posture in Scripture that Jesus displayed in the face of heavy burdens and trouble is surprisingly that of gentleness.
