John 6:27
King James Version
27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth,
but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life,
which the Son of man shall give unto you:
for him hath God the Father sealed.
What is the work you do?
Enjoying it a lot?
Getting paid enough?
Do you eagerly go to work each morning?
Proud of the work you do?
Would you do it, even if you didn't get paid?
Would you do it, even if starting would entail sacrifices?
Would you do it, for the rest of your life?
If you're having fun at work, then perhaps, you've found your place in the sun.
If you're not having fun, why are you doing the work you're doing?
Is work just to pay the bills?
Just to make a living?
Just for prestige?
To have a nest egg?
To prepare for retirement?
To show what you're good at?
As a measure of your worth?
Prefer being employed?
Or do you prefer working for yourself?
What makes work enjoyable?
What work are you looking for?
There are a lot of questions the thinking person will ask for himself.
A need to re-assess his work, his life, his goals.
A need to review the projects he's working on, the people he works for, and if he is justly compensated.
What is just compensation for you?
Who are you serving?
Is it something you would teach your children to do?
Or would you hide such, from them?
Are you telling yourself you'll keep working this way, with this job, with such people, until such time you've got enough saved?
Then you can abandon ship, and do something else?
Or do something you really like?
And be your own boss?
What was your goal for working?
Have you reached your goals?
How did you get into the work you're doing?
Does it fill your heart with joy?
What could you be doing better now?
How can you accomplish that?
Who can you really trust?
Who can help you?
As born again, I serve the LORD.
He made me a writer, in His service.
I do not think of compensation.
I only care I get His WORD right.
And that I share it with you, JUST as the LORD wants me to.
What reward do I need?
Being entrusted with His WORD, with His SPIRIT, suffices.
I seek no reward.
It's not dumb to do so.
I just want to do things right by GOD.
I LOVE the work I do for JESUS.
I feel so honored serving you, and the LORD.
I never get tired.
I'm always on the alert for His prompts.
He's the one who makes sure I get some sleep.
Working for GOD is such delightful work!
I've been at it, night and day, for over 33 months now.
Non-stop.
I get to reach you, warn you, alert you, share the GOSPEL with you.
I get to study with SPIRIT.
He teaches me everything I need to know.
He answers ALL the questions I present.
It's an honor serving the LORD.
GOD prepared me for this.
From day one.
May you be blessed with useful work.
And only GOD can give you that.
Let the LORD define you in HIS service.
