Unemployed?

First of all who do you work for?

Do you not work for God? How then can you go to the government for aid when you are employed by the richest Guy in the universe? No idealism here. A Christian man will always have a job. Our work is to follow Him.

John 6:28,29
28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

He will always provide for us. He promised. If we believe in Him we'll always have enough.
Did you ever think about helping a widow or someone who can't pay you back? NO? Maybe you always choose the best-paying job. Is that right? Do you serve money or God?

John 6:24
24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Is there really nothing to do around your house or your mother's house or a friends house?
Take the opportunity you have right now with all the free time you have to do those things you can't do while "employed".

And... Have thy tools ready. God will find thee work. Charles Kingsley

Sharpen your chisels and fix the cord on your circular saw, fix the hammer handle and refill you screw bucket. Use your time well.

And get to work!

Christian Perspective of a Boss

Colossians 3:22,23 ; "Servants, obey your masters in all things according to the flesh, not with eyeservice, as menpleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God, and whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men..."



We might have a bad boss or a mean manager, but all our work is to be done as to the Lord, not men. The boss may be the man writing out the monthly check but God is the One who blesses his bussines.



Your attitude before the boss could influence his impression of your character, but if God is more important in your life, and He should be, then the hidden man (when you're alone) counts more.

Pleasing God is more important. Make that your priority.



p.s. I'm no great theologian, i just read this during my Bible study time and i find myself lacking in this area.
