YOUR WORKPLACE IS YOUR WORSHIP SPACE!
Colossians 3:23
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for people.Luke 5:1-11
On one occasion, while the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret,
and he saw two boats by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets.
Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon's, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people from the boat.
And when he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch."
And Simon answered, "Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets."
And when they had done this, they enclosed a large number of fish, and their nets were breaking.
They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sing.
But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O' Lord."
For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,
and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men."
And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him.
Jesus takes a low position and gives it a high purpose.
Any workplace can be transformed from menial to meaningful if Jesus is invited to be a part of it.
Romans 12:1
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
Your career is what you get paid for; your calling is what you are made for!
CHALLENGE
1) Pray a prayer of thanks
2) Pray intentionally and specifically for one person
3) Look for one specific way to show the love of Jesus to someone
