Ephesians 4:28 - (KJV) Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

 

Warning:  I'm cheating a little here.  We just did this word a month ago, so this is a cross post from my sister blog.  Enjoy!

Work in progress.
Working on it.
Slow Men Working
Work out.
Work it, girl!
Worked over.
Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, it's off to work we go.

Years ago, my entire paradigm on work shifted when this scripture was brought out in a message I was listening to.  My goal for work isn't to simply get by with just enough for me.  God has a much bigger plan for work than that. I should be able to live well enough on my wages and have plenty to give.

For years, I barely eked out a living at low wage, low hour jobs.  The one time I had a fairly good paying job, it was the worst job environment I'd ever been in.  I had nothing to give of myself, plus not much to give to help anyone else.

I'm in a new environment with new opportunities, and a new outlook on work and life.  I've actually got a job interview Monday.  If I get this job, it will be a big step in the right direction.  I look forward to the Lord showing me creative ways to give out of my work.


Update:  As you know now, I did get the job.  I've been there for nearly a month and I'm enjoying it.
