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.
PSALM 127: A WORD FOR THE WORKAHOLIC
Psa 127:2 It is useless to work hard for the food you eat by getting up early and going to bed late. The LORD gives food to those he loves while they sleep.
I had selected both the above Psalm 127: 2 and Mat 6:33, only to find them contained / referenced to in the undermentioned link. This is really really a good view to read....Please do. http://bible.org/seriespage/psalm-127-word-workaholics
The last paragraph of the conclusion drawn by Bob Deffinbaugh
"Finally, this Psalm (127) contains a principle which relates to those who may never have come to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. No matter how much you labor to earn a righteousness which you hope God will accept, your efforts will always be futile. Your works will never be acceptable to God. God has chosen to save men by His grace, not by their works. To be saved you must recognize yourself as a sinner, and your efforts to be righteous apart from God are worthless. You can be saved simply by resting in Him. He has sent His Son to be punished for your sins on Calvary. Jesus Christ is the One whose righteousness can be yours, simply by trusting in Him and receiving salvation as God’s gift of grace. In Him alone you will find the security which God gives for eternity."
Lord Father, in Jesus name, please awaken the Holy Spirit is us, command Him to talk to us, Command Him to awaken our Spiritual discernment in all we hear, do, intend and plan to do. Amen & Amen
Mat 6:33 But first, be concerned about his kingdom and what has his approval. Then all these things will be provided for you.

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."
