Think a minute…
Have you heard many people say: “Oh, good! I’m going to work today!”? I sure haven’t. Usually what we say is, “I have to go to work today!” Why? Probably because many people do not enjoy their work. We feel it’s just something we’re forced to do. Our job is like a necessary evil that we must endure so we can feed and care for our family—which, of course, is very important.
No wonder studies show that most people do not do their best at their work or job. It’s also why many people throw away their hard-earned money on foolish gambling like lotteries. They think they have a chance to hit the big jackpot and never have to work again! Then they’ll be free to do nothing the rest of their life. But someone said, “The problem with doing nothing is that you never know when you’re finished!”
However, when it comes to our weekends, not many people say: “Too bad! I have to take the weekend off from work.” You see, it’s all in our attitude and the way we look at something. So if we’ll approach our work with a positive attitude, being grateful that we even have a job to provide for our family, then we’ll start to appreciate and enjoy our job more. We’ll also take more pride in our work and do it better. Then we just might get a promotion or better job somewhere else!

As adults we must work like we did as children when our father was watching. Because our Maker IS watching us all day! He sees our attitude and how well we do our job. Since He gave us our life, health and abilities, He expects us to do our best at every small job we do no matter how unimportant we think it is.
So if you’ve not had a good attitude about your work and not done your very best, you can ask Jesus to forgive you today. But He also wants to change you and help you start doing your best at everything you do. It’s then you can finally start fully enjoying all the blessings that God wants to give you.
