Work has run into a problem. People live for their jobs and find their lives every way.

But Dr. Tony Evans says that's because we've misdirected the focus of our labor. God doesn't

want you to whistle while you work. He wants you to worship while you work.

This is the alternative broadcast featuring the timeless biblical teachings from the archives of Dr. Tony Evans.

Maybe you've heard the saying, do what you love and you'll never work another day in your life.

Well, Dr. Evans says the key to experiencing satisfaction at work has more to do with your motivation

than your mood. Let's join him as he explains.

God created work, so work is not bad. In fact, God created work before sin ever entered the

world. So when there was a perfect world and a perfect environment, there was perfect work.

But when God created work, he created work to be, watch this, a partnership between him and the worker.

When God first told the first worker, Adam, about work, he told him in Genesis

2, verse 15. He took the man, put him into the Garden of Eden to cultivate it and to keep it.

I do not, Adam, want you to leave me out of your work. And to remind you, you're not to leave me

out of your work. I'm going to put this tree in the middle of the garden, because I don't want you figuring this thing out without me.

Your work is to include me.

There's no such thing as work without me.

This partnership goes further because in chapter 2, verse 19, out of the ground, the Lord God

formed every beast of the field, every bird of the sky, brought them to man to see what he would

call them.

And whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name.

So not only did he have to do the work, yeah, to use his brain.

So I went to establish that, that work created by God was always deemed to be a partnership.
