What’s one thing you can do right now, that will have a HUGE effect on your day?
Your perspective on things , has a lot to do with how your day plays out. Some people dread going to work and can’t stand where, or who they work for. If that’s you, keep reading….
The Bible has a lot to say, when it comes to work.
Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than people. -Colossians 3:23
Wow! That kind of puts a new perspective on things, doesn’t it? Think about how many things we do, during the course of our day. Now, think what it would be like if we did those same things, as if we were working for the Lord. Mundane, menial and trivial tasks, take on a whole new meaning.
When I read this verse, my mind immediately went to my job. The key word in this scripture is the word “whatever”. That means anything that we set our mind to do. That could be mowing the lawn, taking out the trash, dealing with an upset customer, etc.
Think about it from your employer’s point of view. If you adopt this one little strategy at work, your employer will definitely take notice. Who knows where that might take you. There could be a promotion for you, right around the corner!
What’s the one thing that you despise the most about your job? The next time you do it, reflect on this verse. I promise that you’ll have a new perspective! There’s definitely a paradigm shift, when you consider it this way, isn’t there?
Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won’t need to compare yourself to anyone else. -Galatians 6:4
