Professional Inspirations #18: Job satisfaction & Work pride

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.

JOB SATISFACTION & WORK PRIDE

Ecc 9:10 Whatever presents itself for you to do, do it with all your might, because there is no work, planning, knowledge, or skill in the grave where you're going.

Do you perhaps come to work, pulling yourselves out of bed, already dreading the traffic on your way to work, finding your work boring, disliking your boss, hating the priority list?

Have you ever questioned the reason for work and life?

Have you approached any week by perhaps thinking or having thought;
on Tuesday; "Tomorrow's Wednesday!!!!,
by Thursday; "Tomorrow's Friday!!!!!",
on Friday; "TGIF"....(thank god its Friday!!!").

Is work boring or is it joyful?
Are you satisfied or just here for the sake of income?
Do you hate your work, or do you take pride in what you are doing?

When we speak of God's grace, we mean all the good gifts we enjoy freely in life. There are so many but a more summary approach is to affirm that life itself is the fundamental gift, with all its delights. For us, the gift of life includes the wondrous gift of being human, finding ourselves plopped down in the midst of the larger gift of creation. That is the bedrock of grace—creation, life, human being. http://www.explorefaith.org/grace.html

Rom 12:1-2 Brothers and sisters, in view of all we have just shared about God's compassion, I encourage you to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, dedicated to God and pleasing to him. This kind of worship is appropriate for you. (2) Don't become like the people of this world. Instead, change the way you think. Then you will always be able to determine what God really wants-what is good, pleasing, and perfect.

So how to remain satisfied and proud at work?........Put Christ at the centre of your Life!!!!

Joh 16:33 I've told you this so that my peace will be with you. In the world you'll have trouble. But cheer up! I have overcome the world."
