Why does work, which has genuine dignity, so often go wrong?

This module begins with common experiences of work as fruitless, pointless, or self-serving, then examines the deeper problem: the human tendency to ask work to provide what only God can give.

Today’s #SaturdayGoodRead reflects on this as Jon Cho’s “Working from home: Where is God in all of this?” explores how God “has made Himself known” through his own experience with WFH. He begins with

As long as I can remember, being able to work from home feels like winning the lottery. For that reason, I thought it would be a walk in the park after the nation-wide directive was given.

The dread of heading back to office on a Monday after a nice weekend with the family was now eliminated – I’d get to be with them all the time. All. The. Time.

A dream come true, right?

As part of BCP (business continuity planning), I started working from home for a couple of weeks before the Circuit Breaker started. All I can say is that the reality of winning the lottery was nothing like what I imagined.
