In this Sunday's sermon, we will dwell on the topic of work. Work can be done with one's hands or head, or body. It can be physical or only involve using your mind. Work can be skilled or unskilled. It can be creative, like composing music or writing a song or involving talent like the performing arts. What all these kinds of work have in common is there exists a market for them. If someone is willing to pay you to do it or buy what you make doing it, it can be counted as work.
You can get a job using your hands if you are a craftsman, such as a mechanic or a carpenter, or using your body if you are strong moving furniture. You can even get a job using your head if you are brainy and get a degree or training. Fashion models use their bodies to make a living. Actors use their mind and body in role-playing skill levels that vary by actor or actress. The director uses his head to weave scenes into their performance to compose the movie...
The work might require on-the-job training if it is skilled labor such as a cashier or maybe only needing everyday skills to use like a bagger in the supermarket. You may need to take a course in typing for a data entry job. You may have to get your degree to become a computer programmer. You may be able to get a job like raking leaves or sweeping the shop after the store closes just by applying.
The more skill required, the more training you will need to complete to compete in the job market. Even creative work like writing a novel or composing a song may need you to have the basic skill sets involved in said acts. The less skill required, the lower the wages. Learn to earn I have heard again and again...
God has suggested we earn our bread when able to not need constant care by our family or professionals for a handicap. In the afterlife, we may find conjuring only required to access the already created goodies and creating everyone's regular employment when not socializing...
