It is good....

 

Every time God made something during the creation story, there are comments that He saw ‘it was good’. 

I have read this many times, as I suppose some of you may of done, but this time I considered this repeated phrase - what is it actually showing us - this simple phrase?

It shows me that God is satisfied with His work. He has put in effort, energy and consideration into what He is dong and He is content with the result. God is satisfied with what He has produced.

Are you content and satisfied with the work of your hands? Do you step back at the end of the day and think that your work is good?

If not, take time at the end of your work to appreciate what you have done. We all have tough work periods, and times when things don’t go right - but have you put in a good days work? Have you made progress? Have you done all you could (without burning yourself out)? 

If you think you are never enough or doing enough, then maybe you need to sit back at the end of the day and consider the good you have done. You are human, you are entitled to sit back and appreciate your labours - God did. Don’t be afraid of giving yourself a pat on the back or acknowledging your efforts. It could just change your perspective in your work life. It could even cause you to reflect on the work you want to do. 

‘It is good”

God is satisfied and content with His labours - are you? If not, what is it that you need to change?
