Going back to work today
The New Year is here. Holidays are over. Many of you went back to work today.
Here are four quick suggestions about how to view your job.
Your job is a way to take care of your family. It is a means to an end. Do not let it define you because it is not your identity. It is a way to provide food and shelter. Maybe even a way to have enough to share with others. So thank God often for your job.
Your job is your ministry. Some professions are obviously ministry. Ministry for example. Or the medical profession. Teachers and counselors. But so is ranching and farming. Feeding people. So are building trades. Providing shelter. In fact, any job can have value if you view it that way.
Your job is a chance to show the light of Jesus. Work hard. Be honest. Be dependable. Be a good employee. Word as a disciple of Jesus.
Your job is your mission field. You may have customers or clients or co-workers that need to hear about Jesus. Maybe God put you in your job because there is a seeker there who needs what you can give them. Pray for the opportunity.
So welcome 2024.
And back to work we go.
For Jesus.
