Made for Monday

Easy to talk about, difficult to live it out.

"If you act like you like your job, you might begin to like your job."  -- Johnnie's Boss

"The work of your hands is the place where your truest worship is exemplified."  --J. Blair

How would you describe your worship if it were based on your work ethic?

For of him, and through him and to him, are all things: to whom be glory forever.  Amen  -- Romans 11:36

Scripture reading Romans 12:1,2

Worship is much more than engaging in Sunday services.  True worship is to live a transformed life.

Offer your bodies to God. We must offer our physical being as well as our spiritual being if we are to worship truly.  We are to be a living sacrifice: all that you are and ever will be, offer it all to him

Does your work ethic offer a pleasing aroma to God, or does it stink?
Your performance on the job is an offering to God.  Is it acceptable?

We must develop a mindset that is Christlike.  Do we please Christ or the culture?  Which way will we do things? A mind that is transformed in Christ is the key to changing the world.

Do we treat people with respect and honor?   Do we think differently from the world?

"And let the beauty of the Lord Our God be upon us, and establish thou the work of our hands upon us, yea, the work of our hands established thou it."--Psalm 90:17

How many are praying for your workplace, your employer your coworkers?

What if God established the work of your hands?

Not your dream job? So what?  You have the ability to honor God wherever you are, gleefully, with integrity, and with a joyful spirit.

You are made for Mondays!

I don't think there is much hope for my employer, so I work to be proud of what I do instead.

Lin, you take pride in your work it is done as unto the Lord and the employer gets his money's worth whether he's hopeless or not.a
