When we get up to go to work, most of us are motivated by the responsibilities we have to care for ourselves and those we love. But if the only meaning we find in our work is the money we make then work can be dreadful!

It’s interesting how even as we progress, the line keeps moving.  Once upon a time, many of us prayed for enough. But then, not long after God honored that prayer, we wanted more.  We always want more. Ironically, enough is never enough!

I want to suggest to you that there must be something else.  Could you consider that the work that you do is an act of worship? What if your job is an opportunity to carry God’s presence into places and to people that you may never see at a church? 

You see, when we reach the end of our story – what will matter most will not be the money that we made or the stuff we acquired.  

We find meaning through our relationships – the connections we enjoy with God and one another!  

Get it?

4 Do not toil to acquire wealth; be discerning enough to desist. 5 When your eyes light on it, it is gone, for suddenly it sprouts wings, flying like an eagle toward heaven.

Proverbs 23:4–5

Good Morning, I love you all!
