1 Corinthians 5:58 "So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and
steady, always enthusiastic about the Lord's work, for you know
that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless."
steady, always enthusiastic about the Lord's work, for you know
that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless."
I've been searching for a new part time job lately and it just has not been too much fun.
As I search for a new job, I find myself listing off reasons why I already would hate each job I read:
-i would hate having that many hours
-i would hate not having enough hours
-i would hate driving that far to work
-i would hate making that little pay
-i would hate working with fast food
-i would hate working that early
-i would hate working that late
-i would hate working with that type of co-workers
-i would hate sitting in an office all day
-i would hate working outside
- i would hate....
Well, you get it.
I cross all of these jobs off my list without considering where God wants me and where he can use me.
Maybe that job that requires me to drive further, start earlier, work with more difficult people, and pays less is the one place that God wants me so that he can use me to accomplish work for his kingdom {Don't feel too much pressure - he can use you anywhere if you let him!}.
It's hard to remember when you're scrubbing toilets, flipping burgers, stocking shelves... that God can use you in every situation, even the ones that seem useless.
Be enthusiastic about your work. And let God use you for HIS work.

Praise for the Day: Finally being reunited with my bible study ladies.
Prayer for the Day: That God opens up doors for whichever job he wants me to take.
