Are You In The Will @ WORK?

Ephesians 6:5-7 NLT : 5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. 6 Try to please them all the time, not just when they are watching you. As slaves of Christ, do the will of God with all your heart. 7 Work with enthusiasm, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.


TODAY is TUESDAY, and the question is did you do it? Yesterday? Did you serve your superiors sincerely as you would serve Christ? Ok now that you've actually spent som time this morning repenting of your attitude and actions yesterday, let's now move forward. Why is it important you have this type of attitudinal approach to your boss, your job, the people you work with.......well simply because if you do it GLORIFIES GOD and it places CHRIST in your workplace. I mean really if you don't bring CHRIST to the workplace, how else does He get there, or are you depending on someone else to do what you were called to do when you accepted Him as your personal savior? So before you run out of the door, let's check and make sure we are really READY TO GO TO WORK today:


1) How is your heart? Is it a thankful and appreciative heart for your job? Is it...." I gotta go to work," or is it " I get to go to work today?" one is a thankful expression unto GOD.


2) Are you excited or enthusiastic about going to work? (Ok think about it like this, when you tell your kids to do the kitchen....isn't their attitude EVERYTHING, or you don't care that they slam the dishes around and mumble under their breath?

3) Do you purpose yourself to try to please your boss, not just when their are guest or during appraisal times, but even when they're off? Or do you talk about them, and do what you want when you want?

4) Do you realize that it was He who blessed you with the job, and you're ultimate attitude should be that I am working for SSM, Cardinal Health, Calvary Church, Samsung, etc. as if GOD is my boss, so my desire is that HE IS GLORIFIED in what I get to do.


So the only way to truly know if you are in God's will @ your JOB is to ask yourself is GOD BEING GLORIFIED on the job? Are people coming to know the love of Christ because of my employment at___________________?





GOD, you are a creator, and I pray you create in me a fresh perspective regarding the blessing of a job you've given me. I repent of my attitude, my murmuring in times past about my boss, my co-workers, and or even the job itself fully recognizing the shame I may have brought to you by my attitude. I invite you to ride with me so that your sheer presence will transform my outlook and attitude regarding this blessing of a job. Thank you, for your grace in allowing me to come to this point without having to learn this lesson through unemployment. AMEN
