What the Bible says about work
Work is in the Bible before anything goes wrong: Adam is placed in the garden “to dress it and to keep it.” Your work matters to God, whether it is visible or not, paid well or not.
Colossians 3:23 changes who you work for. Paul wrote it to people with very little control over their jobs, and told them they were really serving the Lord. That turns even a hard workplace into a place of faithfulness.
For money worries, Jesus speaks plainly in Matthew 6: your Father knows what you need. Seek His kingdom first, do your work honestly, and trust Him with provision.
