I am aware that some of you feel stuck, frustrated, or apathetic in your work. I am reminding you that you are created in My image, and you were made for My purpose. Use your skills for My glory, to advance My kingdom, and to help others, because I am the One who gave them to you.
Don’t use your work to seek the approval of others, or for your own glory or status. Stay close to Me; don’t compare yourself to others or how the world does things. Don’t solely rely on your own understanding of how to do your work; instead, lean on Me for inspiration, strength, and innovation.”
“Remember that it’s not ‘just work’—not just a job or a menial task. Whether you’re washing a dish or typing an email, whatever environment you’re in, it all serves a purpose, even if it doesn’t feel like it. What you are doing is significant
Do your work with integrity, diligence, strategy, and excellence. Don’t do it with pride, nor to the point of burnout, nor with apathy. You are My representatives, reflecting My character. Especially at your workplace, you are meant to be an influence on your colleagues and the people you interact with, not the other way around.
Activation:
Surrender the work tasks that have you feeling ‘stuck’—those you’re doing for the approval of others or for your own glory. Remember that you are working for the Lord and representing Him. Ask the Holy Spirit for new ways to approach your tasks and for innovation. Be open to new ways of doing your work. Check in regularly with the Holy Spirit while you’re working, and be expectant to do things differently from how you’ve done them before—in your perspective, attitude, and practical approach.
Whatever you do [whatever your task may be], work from the soul [that is, put in your very best effort], as [something done] for the Lord and not for men,
Colossians 3:23 (AMP)
For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us].
Ephesians 2:10 (AMP)
Let no one seek [only] his own good, but [also] that of the other person.
1 Corinthians 10:24 (AMP)
