Joy in work

22 January  2013   

Proverbs 12:14 From the fruit of his words a man is satisfied with good, and the work of a man's hand comes back to him.

Whether you are a lawyer, physician or grass cutter there is very little difference when it comes to being good at what you do. When we see the work of a grass cutter that takes joy in his work, the lines of cut grass are straight and there is little chaff left, when we see the work of a lawyer we see integrity and justice, and the work of the physician brings healing and comfort to the sick and dying. In all of these we see the common thread that a person no matter what the employment is in control of how well they do what they do.

It is in these things that we learn as we grow older that all that we do we do as best we are able, because we do all to please God. It is in this that we as Christians start to actually realise that our true employer is Jesus Himself. So we do all to please Him. So when you see a tidy and neat home, a place of work where things are done properly, we should be mindful of the person. In all you and I do, we do it to please Jesus.

Be encouraged to be joyful in what you do.
 
David

Point to ponder: Be joyful you have work and a place to sleep.

Question to consider: Are you joyful in what you do?
