Proud, positive, and proactive in all we say and do.

Proverbs16:3   “Commit thy words unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.”

            I have heard so many people say things like they weren’t called to preach, speak, nor teach. These same people feel that they have been overlooked by their boss, spouse, pastor, or parents. We all have different jobs, opportunities, chances or just times when we can excel. This verse speaks of work—what it really says is –Whatever you do, do it to the best of your ability as if the Lord were right beside you. If we do that, our thoughts will be built up by Him; we will be proud of the work we have done; we will be positive of the results of our work; we will not tire of doing more for Him or taking more responsibilities for Him.

            These thought are success thoughts: if you are proud, positive, and proactive for Jesus. The resulting thoughts will continue building and encouraging in your work for Him.

Lord, we love you today and admit how weak we are when we don’t keep our eyes on You. Help us, Lord, to work to our best ability to bring glory to You. Let our co-workers see You in all we do. Make us proud, positive, and proactive in all we do with You. For Your service we live.    Amen.
