Faith Journey
Jobs Are:
gifts on loan from God, not rights.
callings to honor God by serving co-workers, customers, suppliers, etc. sacred opportunities and places for God to receive worship-filled work.
modeled by men and women in Scripture.
invitations to utilize resources (products, services, relationships etc.).
for the benefit of God and others.
membership in a community of peers whom we can serve.
chances to develop skills and gifts given to each of us by God.
fraught with pain, sweaty toil and frustration since the Fall in the Garden of Eden.
not identical with our identity.
much more than just a way to get a paycheck.
not a long dark tunnel between leisure weekends.
opportunities for good by delivering salt, light and leaven into broken places and troubled people.
“The Lord created me at the beginning of his work, the first of his acts long ago. When he marked out the foundations of the earth, then I was beside him, like a master worker; and I was his daily delight, rejoicing before him always, rejoicing in his inhabited world and delighting in the human race.”
(Proverbs 8:22, 29b-30)
Lord, thank you for designing me like you to work as your worshiper, stewarding your creation and serving others. Help me do my job well.
