Philippians 2:12-15 Are you happy with your job?

"...work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both (to will and to do) for His good pleasure. Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation,..." Philippians 2:12b-15a

What's all this have to do with being happy at your job? Think about it, if it's God who is working in you both "to will and to do", the position you find yourself in is no accident. Not any desire you mustered up, but God's desire placed on your heart. Actually He may have placed you there contrary to your will at this moment. It's OK! Would you want to be anywhere outside His will? Of course not. You will never be happy working for yourself. You will only be happy, or I should say joyful, when you are working for God and His good pleasure. If the thing created is something other than what his Creator created it to be there is confusion and chaos. Do you feel confused? Is your life chaotic? Tell God the Father to take over your confused and chaotic life, and the pieces of the puzzle will begin to fall into place.
