WORK: Work doesn’t always bring monetary gain

  • In order for God to be glorified, one does not have to work in a sacred profession. God can be glorified whether you are a plumber, clerk, or CEO. Jesus was a carpenter. He used his talents to build things for people. Jesus was also a prophet. He had a secular and sacred profession and he glorified God in both. 

    In John 17:4-5 he told god that he had glorified him and finished all the work that he had given him. Jesus was concerned about doing what his father wanted him to do. He delighted in pleasing his father, whether it be building a table or teaching in the Synagogue. 

    We can learn from Jesus. God has laid out a plan for us and it is up to us to fulfill it. As we do, we glorify him and he is pleased. How do we know what his plan is? Pray and ask him. Be led by his spirit. Take time to get to know God’s voice.
