1Tim 3:1
This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
KJV
There are some persons who apply for jobs with the good intention of making ends meet but with no sincere interest in the work. That shouldn’t be the attitude of believers.
Our emphasis in the scripture above is that, if a man desires an office, he desires the work. Every office position has a job description or assigned responsibilities associated with it. When we sign-up for that office or position, we are in for the work that goes with it
Jesus found great delight in doing his work (see Jn 4:34). In our places of employment or service, be it a corporate organization, a government agency or church administration, we should labor heartily as to the Lord and not to men (see Col 3:23).
Go into today, with this understanding of labor – the privilege of using our skills and office to work and serve. This is how you glorify God in your work and attract His blessing in all you do.
PRAYER: Lord, help me to do my work with excellence, with the right motives and at the right time. Amen
