In the beginning, God worked. God worked out of sheer joy and delight, and He deemed the whole fruit of His efforts to be “very good” and worthy of His ongoing care and engagement. While many consider work a four-letter word and a necessary evil, something we must do to pay bills and get on to the more desirable parts of life, the Genesis account of creation demonstrates that our work is both an expression of God’s image in us and His providential provision for the world. Our work can be good for us and good for others.
