Almost There...

Wednesday, May 21, 2008

I know that some of us will only be working for a couple more days...but this applies to err'body.

Perspective. We are all ministers...as Christ-followers. In the message at church this weekend, Jeremiah gave some great insight into the idea of how we need to think about our jobs. The Bible has all kinds of things to say about it. I wanted to focus on this one verse from Proverbs 16:11...

God cares about honesty in the workplace;
your business is His business.


When something goes wrong at work...talk to God. He cares about what's going down. When it seems like only a lie will keep things going...talk to God. Choose honesty. When something is stressing you out...talk to God. When you are excited...talk to God. When things get crazy...talk to God. Hopefully you see where I'm going with this. God loves us and He cares about all the stuff that matters to us...no matter how small they may seem. We're all ministers. We are reflecting Christ's love and mercy as we do our thing...as we bring the kingdom of God to the immediate world around us. This will affect the whole vibe of the workplace, classroom, whatever.

Try it...see what happens.
