Try working for 20 years and got kidney failure as a retrenchment gift! I am still out of job. In my case, no degree will help. Depression sets in and life virtually sucks. Trying to make ends meet is like cutting a large tree with a pen knife! Fortunately for me and my family, I have many God’s “family members” at Church (JCC) that helped out. Life may not be as great as I want it to be but I am glad that I found God’s family and now I am one. Thank you, Lord for your blessings.

Agree that our self-worth should not be tied to our work, but to our Creator and what he has done for us on the Cross. We have faith that God takes care of us as His children, and this shapes the way we view life and work.

“…the best course we can take is to use well what we have, to serve God with it, to do good with it, and take the comfort of it to ourselves and our families…,” read more of Matthew Henry’s commentary on Ecc 5:18-20 here:

We are created to put God as the centre of our life & to glorify Him. After man sinned, work no longer is enjoyable and man’s greed to have more soon have no time & leave God out. We need to put God back to the centre of our life and all else is secondary.Work than will only be for our daily needs and we want do our best and use our talents and gifts to honour God. The joy of being God’s child is sufficient & do not need title or degree
