Why I Love a Job that I Hate Exists

We live in a world that is broken. Genesis states that when God finished his creation on day 7 He rested because He saw that his Creation was “GOOD”.  That did not last long before sin entered into the world and the good Creation became broken and had to be separated from it’s Creator. 99% of the world’s 10,000 or so years of existence is no where near what it was intended. We were supposed to live in a world of love, support, and happiness…instead we live in a world of sin, anger, malice, sadness, and sickness. We live in a world broken and fallen…a world where someone has to intervene to uphold law and order. Before the fall there was no need for such a peacekeeper because law and order was interwoven into your being…you knew it and just did it…with sin that changed. We became creatures of our own will instead of God’s…creatures that wanted what’s best for us and not others or what’s best for God’s perfect Creation. One day Christ will return and that perfect Creation will be restored…until then sin and malice will roam free. One day my job will not exist.


We will one day live on this world as it was meant to be…I will have a new job in the New Creation because law enforcement will come naturally and laws and rules will not be broken because God’s creation will be focused on worshipping Him and that will be the driving force for all that is done. I cannot wait on the day that God says “Your work as a law enforcement officer is done because you are no longer needed…your new calling is ____.” Until then however I am going to do everything in my power to keep law and order and protect what is left of God’s perfect and beautiful creation because that is what He has called me to do. I cannot wait for the day that God’s Creation is made whole once again.
