How to avoid workplace stress

Recently, I came across a humorous post about work on Instagram.

It read, “How to avoid stress at work.”

“Step one - don’t go to work.”

We laugh because we all know how stressful work can be. Should we avoid it altogether?

The Bible gives a very clear answer to that - no!

"...doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need." Ephesians 4:28 (ESV)

Work was initially a good thing given to us by God.

And sometimes we still get moments of deep satisfaction in it.

But rather than giving up on work, the Bible says we should look forward to the time when God makes all things new, as described in Revelation 21:1-27.

A time when there will be no more groaning and toil in our work.

In the meantime, we should strive to love people through our work.

Doing that goes a long way to making it less stressful.
