The Problem

• According to published surveys, up to 80 percent of Americans occupy the wrong job for them.
• Men, made for work, must feel a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in their work, or contentment will elude them.
• If a man is unhappy in his work, he is unhappy.

The Secret of Job Contentment

• The secret of job contentment is not getting what you want, but redefining what you need.
• Three principles from Scripture apply when we are willing to redefine what we need to achieve job contentment:
  • We need to control our ambition.
  • Our contentment must come from our relationship with God, not from our circumstances.
  • We need to redefine the basic roles in our work relationships:
    • The ultimate boss is God.
    • We are to be stewards.
