Does Your Work Matter to God?

by Dave Kahle

It is the early moments of creation. God is busy at work, creating the universe, and has just created his most complex entity: Man. Or, more specifically, the man Adam. He is a special creature, made in the image and likeness of God himself and placed at the very top of the created world.

     How will God relate to Adam and his progeny? Will he create some special organization, like a church, and command Adam to worship him? Will he give Adam a family and expect that in the myriad decisions of raising children and getting along with his spouse Adam will seek him out for wisdom and guidance and thereby seek a relationship with God? What will God do with Adam? 

     For what purpose did God create him?

     He will give Adam a job. First, a lifetime purpose and then a specific task that contributes to that purpose. Then within the context of that job, God will work with Adam, speak to him, relate to him, and work together with him.

     In other words, God created work—and by extension, business—as the venue in which God would speak with man, relate to man, and work with man.

Let us take a look:

     The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.
(Gen. 2:15)

     Here is Adam’s life purpose: to work the Garden of Eden and take care of it. While the charge is specifically given to Adam, he was the first of the human race and set a precedent for the generations that were to come. In God’s great plan, working and taking care of creation—not just the Garden of Eden—will provide the context for every person’s life purpose. Every man and every woman will have a life purpose that fits within that charge.

     Then notice what God did next:

     Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. (Gen. 2:19)

     He gave Adam a specific task that fit within the general purpose. It is as if he said to Adam, “Adam,  your life’s purpose will be to... CLICK HERE TO READ FULL ARTICLE
