Preeminence at Work

Chris Wall • Colossians 3:22-4:1

If we are going to honor the Lord at work, we need to be able to recognize how the Spirit is working in the workplace. Because God is sovereign in everything, He puts us in the right place, gives us the right perspective and calls us to
the right purpose. When it comes to a proper understanding of work there are some critical things to understand.
 
●      We work for the Lord, not for ourselves. We need to see our Monday-Friday as an act of Worship and not just a senseless job.
●      There is a divine purpose in our work relationships. God not only uses our job to provide for our financial needs, but He also puts in intentional relationships with others. Our boss, our co-workers, our employees are all gifts from the Lord and people we should be constantly taking to the Lord in prayer.
●      Christians should work with enthusiasm and skill. Proverbs 22:29 – “DO YOU SEE A MAN SKILLED IN HIS WORK, HE WILL SERVE BEFORE KINGS.”
Followers of Christ should not only work hard, they should also work to become
skillful at their job.
