Work with Joy!

         Have you had your Joy Juice today?  Drink it in and be ready for the work that faces you today!

            Do you go to work each morning with a smile on your face and a song in your heart? OR do you dread going to your job?

            Work is certainly not a bad thing….on the contrary.  An honest day’s work should bring fulfillment and a sense of accomplishment.  If, however, we do our work with a negative attitude, complaining all day long about what we have to do, we bring dishonor to ourselves, our boss and our God.

            Colossians 3:23 tells us "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men."   Did you get that?  Could it be that we don’t enjoy our work because we not doing it with a heart for the Lord?  Instead of complaining….even if it’s only in our thoughts…let’s determine to find joy in our jobs.

Here are five tips that will help us to as we work:

1.      Thank God for the health and opportunity to work.

2.      Try to see His joy in the little things throughout the day.

3.      Ask God to use you to be a blessing to someone.

4.      Smile…regardless of how rotten the day may seem!

5.      Do everything as “unto the Lord”.

              Let's never to be too busy complaining about work that we miss out on the opportunities God is giving us to share His JOY with others!
