ARE YOU WORKING OR SERVING?


John 13:14-17    If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you. Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.


How do I find meaning and purpose in my work? Have you ever found yourself saying this? Has someone asked you that question? How would you answer?

God wants us to be successful at work, home and in living for Him. He gives us the motivation of heart and gifts to contribute to, add value and have relationship with others. Finding meaning and purpose in our work is a key to both personal and professional fulfillment.

In the organization, at work, the mission or purpose of the organization is where the answer can be found. God is involved in the business of the organization. He is involved through the Christian who sees their role as one of service to others. Growing and prospering the organization begins with helping the other people around you to be successful in their roles. God works through the believer and the unbeliever. Our job is to find how our responsibilities and duties can improve those around us as individuals and fellow workers.

Everyone has potential, dignity and worth. God has created everyone according to His plan and purpose. Our priorities are to reflect God’s own concern for others. Despite the mundane nature of some aspects of our work, we are called to fan the flame of the gifts and talents God has equipped us with and to ignite the flame in others. In relationship to the people around us we begin to see God’s will unfold for the organization and for the jobs He has placed us in.
