My friend, I understand your frustration. It seems like you've worked your whole life for nothing, and that's a feeling I can relate to. But let me ask you, have you ever stopped to think about why you're working in the first place? Are you working for the sake of your employer, or are you working for the Lord? The Bible says, "You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies" (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). If you're working for the Lord, then everything you do becomes a form of worship.
But let's be honest, my friend. Even if we're working for the Lord, it's easy to get caught up in the idea that our work is meaningless. We toil and struggle, and yet, it seems like nothing we do really matters in the end. But that's not what the Bible says. In Ecclesiastes, it's written, "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom" (9:10). This means that our work is not about accumulating wealth or power, but about doing our best for the Lord, no matter what.
So, I want to encourage you to re-examine your motivations. Are you working because you have to, or are you working because you want to? Are you working for the sake of your employer, or are you working for the Lord? If you're working for the Lord, then your work takes on a whole new meaning. It becomes an act of worship, a way to honor God with your life. And that's something to be proud of, my friend.
