"But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us (2 Cor 4:7).
What would happen if Jesus took your place for a year in your workplace?
Let's consider some hypothetical things that He might do.
He would do His work with excellence. He would be known around the office for the great work He did (Exodus 31:2).
He would develop new ideas for doing things better (Eph 3:20).
He would hang out with sinners in order to develop a relationship with them in order to speak to them about the Father (Mt 9:12).
He would strategically pray for each worker about their concerns and their needs. He would pray for those who even disliked Him (Mt 5:44).
He would rally the office to support a needy family during Christmas (Jer 22:16).
He would offer to pray for those who were sick in the office and see them get healed (Mt 14:14).
He would honor the boss and respect him/her (Titus 2:9).
He would consider the boss as His authority in His workplace (Rom 13:1).
He would be truthful in all his dealings and never exaggerate for the sake of advancement ( Ps 15:2).
He would be concerned about His city (Lk 19:41).
He would always have a motive to help others become successful, even at his own expense (Pr 16:2).
Hmm. Sounds like some good ideas we could each model. "
hmmm... i think this is really a very good and timely devotion for me.. hee..
I've got a job!!! finally... heh... really thank God and it's really in His timing..
for those who don't know.. i was actually retrenched la.. think i really handled this quite badly initially.. but thank God for those pple around me who've encouraged me all this while!
and thank God who has supplied a temp job for me in the midst of jobsearch (slacking time as well)..
last day at Spring on 21.. think i'm gonna miss there..
well, i was really scared(finally) and gan cheong when another 2 of the temp staffs announced their leaving over 2-3 consecutive days.. "What about me???", i tot.. so i started sending out resumes... and, my good God gave me a job the following day! i got a call from the company i went for interview on New Year's eve 2009.. What a way to start and end the year rite?!
COOL!
a new start to a brand new journey.. if God has lead me to this, He'll bring me through.. and how true it is... =)
真的是恩典之路。。 上帝的应许永远不会改变！
