TGIF Today God Is First Volume 2 by Os Hillman,Thursday, January 15 2009
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us (2 Corinthains 4:7).
What would happen if Jesus took your place for a year in your workplace? Let's consider some hypothetical things that He might do.
He would do His work with excellence. He would be known around the office for the great work He did (Exodus 31:2).
He would develop new ideas for doing things better (Ephesians 3:20).
He would hang out with sinners in order to develop a relationship with them in order to speak to them about the Father (Matthew 9:12).
He would strategically pray for each worker about their concerns and their needs. He would pray for those who even disliked Him (Matthew 5:44).
He would rally the office to support a needy family during Christmas (Jeremiah 22:16).
He would offer to pray for those who were sick in the office and see them get healed (Matthew 14:14).
He would honor the boss and respect him/her (Titus 2:9).
He would consider the boss as His authority in His workplace (Romans 13:1).
He would be truthful in all his dealings and never exaggerate for the sake of advancement (Psalm 15:2).
He would be concerned about His city (Luke 19:41).
He would always have a motive to help others become successful, even at his own expense (Proverbs 16:2).
Hmm. Sounds like some good ideas we could each model.
