Job training

5 March 2012    
 
2 Thessalonians 3:12 Now such persons we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work in quietness and to earn their own living.

Some jobs are so nice because you start them and then you finish them, you wash your hands, have your supper, then sleep with no worries about tomorrow. Then there are other jobs that never end and the worries about income, debts to pay, staff problems, you just cannot leave it for tomorrow, you take the job home in your mind and it keeps you awake at night. The difference between the two has to do with the type of job you do and the skill with which you are able to handle the problems that they entail.

The secret is faith, faith that the problems will be resolved, that the work to be done will be done, because you have both the experience and the trust that what you are doing is the best you can do. It is in the systems and the planning that we find the solution to most of our issues being resolved. Many people who struggle no matter what the job, lies not in the job itself but the ability and the expertise of the person doing the job. This is why it is important that both training and knowledge be imparted to those that are going to do the job.

This is equally true in our Christian walk of life and the more we understand that we need to be taught and trained on our journey of discovery of what God wants from us.

Be encouraged today to build your faith through training and trust.
 
David

Point to ponder: God is systematic.

Question to consider: Do you worry at night?
