Professional inspirations #8 - If a difficult task awaits you...

Psa 25:4-5 Make your ways known to me, O LORD, and teach me your paths. (5) Lead me in your truth and teach me because you are God, my savior. I wait all day long for you.

IF AN DIFFICULT TASKS AWAITS YOU..

People tend work harder when they know that a difficult and demanding task is awaiting them in near future, a new study claimed calling it a 'get ready mindset'.

According to a new study published in the Journal of Consumer Research, the more difficult a future task was expected to be, the harder people worked on a current task because of "get ready mindset".

"It seems reasonable to expect that when people know that they will have to work hard on a future task, they will devote less effort to the current task, in order to save energy for the upcoming demanding task. This is not what we found," said lead author Hans Baumgartner from Pennsylvania State University.

In a series of five studies, the authors observed that the more difficult a future task was expected to be, the harder people worked on a current task.

2Co 2:16 To some people we are a deadly fragrance, while to others we are a life-giving fragrance. ....

It is for certain true that a new year, every new year brings us new challenges and it is most certainly not always downhill. There will be times when we all have to make difficult decisions or have to complete a task that takes up all our strength and talents, testing it to the limits.

When we accepted Jesus Christ as our Redeemer, we are promised a new live trough Him. 2Co 5:17 GW Whoever is a believer in Christ is a new creation. The old way of living has disappeared. A new way of living has come into existence.

We do not however know what to expect from Him, what task He will give us. Luckily for us, Jesus knew He needed to give us help Joh 16:7 However, I am telling you the truth: It's good for you that I'm going away. If I don't go away, the helper won't come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.

Maybe we should not focus on the grade of difficulty, but focus to ask the Holy Spirit to lead us? Ask the Holy Spirit to give us wisdom and insight to deal with the task at hand. Through the power of Jesus Christ and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit we will then be able to achieve anything, any difficult task.

This way we will then be able to approach work and all tasks , PRAYING and deeply dependent on the POWER of Jesus Christ!

Rom 7:6 But now we have died to those laws that bound us. God has broken their effect on us so that we are serving in a new spiritual way, not in an old way dictated by written words.

Holy Teacher, thought the power of your Holy Spirit, I will aim to do any tasks that you may give me and complete in in your Name. Amen.
