--"Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men, because you know that the Lord will reward everyone for whatever good he does. . . . --(Ephesians 6:7 thru 8 NIV-- )
Many of us think of our work as just a way to put food on the table and keep the electricity turned on. Work is that, certainly, but it is much more than that. God modeled work for us, and the way we go about our work and interact with our coworkers is an expression to the world of our relationship with Him.
Do you work with integrity? Are you truthful and trustworthy? Do you arrive on time and give a full day’s effort? Do you do what you say you will do? Do you encourage cooperation and unity? Do you value and respect your coworkers? Are you compassionate and concerned about them as people? Do you treat everyone fairly? Do you give credit where credit is due? Work is God’s idea, so don’t go about your workday as if you are working for someone else―you are working for God.
**THINK ABOUT IT God has given you a sphere of influence in the workplace, and the people there matter. What do your attitudes and behaviors in your workplace say to others about your relationship with God?
**PRAYER --"Heavenly Father, thank You for the job I have and the influence You have given me. I know it is important to keep in mind that I am working for You, wherever I am and whatever I am doing. Let me do it to the fullest to fulfill Your will for my life. In Jesus’ name, amen."

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
