Am I right?

We know that at the Fall, things were good at first,but sin tainted things and everything went down. I suspect that happened with work.In the Garden, Adam and Eve tended it,and that didn't sound too stressful.Now look at work now.God made us in a way where we eat and sleep at times, but when working, that may be thrown off, and you have to do things in an upside down way.You might have things you need to do, or want to do, but the job is standing in the way.You usually have to deal with unreasonable people who in your own time you could avoid more.You rush to meet deadlines,and are under a pressure you wouldn't be if you were relaxing at home.I'm no fan of work,but my personal feelings aside,I somehow don't believe Adam and Eves duties in the Garden were like the stressful pace of todays jobs.Remember, God said AFTER the Fall, "By the sweat of your brow you will earn your bread."So,...did the nature of work change because of the Fall, like everything else? I say yes. You say..?

It takes WORK but God can make our jobs a victorious Garden where we work as unto the Lord (Colossians, Ephesians, Etc)...

The main thing now is not the work we do but for whom we are working; "Do your work heartily as serving the Lord not men" Col 3:23

Ecclesiastes 2:24-25 says finding satisfaction in work is the gift of God;
Ecc 9:10 says the same as Col 3:23...

I wrote some blogs that we need to pray for our jobs in the past because finances are important and tithes allow us to participate in advancing the Kingdom with the fruit of our earthly effort at work... I will try to find them and provide the links...

Thank you...
