“At thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” (Ps. 16:11)
Growing Dominion, Part 6
Dominion is a frame of mind and heart. It is not marked by work only — because slaves also have to work. The difference is this slaves work at a job; Christians are summoned to a calling. When jobs diminish, or are taken away, or simply are not present, those with a slave mentality do not know what to do. When the first pioneers arrived here in Idaho (a little over one hundred years ago), there were no jobs whatsoever. There was a lot of work to do, but no jobs.
Considered at this level, jobs are not there for people who know how to work (although that is fine). Jobs are rather the creation of those who know how to work. In other words, jobs do not create work. Rather, work creates jobs. But try explaining that to some people.
