In Ecclesiastes Ch. 2 verses 12-26 the wisest man
in the world preaches his revelation of living.
He preaches the revelation of what we live for.
Because aside from God, all is meaningless...
Whether for acknowledgement, legacy, wealth,
more knowledge or to have said "I DID IT!"
at the end of this life.
ALL IS VANITY.
My work ethic has been mushy lately.
I've gone back to my old ways.
Become lazy as if HE isn't watching.
I've been unethical and cut corners to get it done
sooner or easier.
I've lost my focus of remembering GOD opened
this door for a reason and the reason is His and
His alone.
But I haven't been there, meditating and chewing
on this truth. Instead I have been just living and
getting by knowing that by His grace I can get
to work and actually stay there without just
walking out.
That is the "spiritual mindset I have been taking
into work. "GOD HELP ME TO JUST WORK
MY 8 HOURS!" Rather than realizing and recog
MY 8 HOURS!" Rather than realizing and recog
nizing it as a gift. Something I have received from
Christ and Christ alone. I barely receive the joy
or fulfillment from Him there. And I learned in these
verses that GOD in his infinite ways and grace has
deemed me worthy of living and working. He has
seen me worthy! Me! And walk into His job that
HE has hired me out at and I just act like every
other person there and try to survive.
When our eyes are focused on heaven and the cross
God can move us from discontent to full of joy and
rejoicing in the life He has given me, you all of us!
Sorry, but I just called out by this little study.
Working and living on this earth means nothing.
Absolutely nothing when we aren't living for God
and working for God. That means serving Him
at work, school and storing up the only treasures
that matter in this lifetime, in heaven.
Blessings to you all!
