Ministry is…

“See, I have called by name Bezaleel …And I have filled him with the spirit of God … To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass …” – Exodus 31:1-4″

“And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; — Colossians 3:23

My job is my ministry. Christ removes the divide between the secular and the sacred.

Just like Bezaleel of old, God fills us with his Holy Spirit to work — and that’s our ministry to Christ and his creation.

Question:How would your job change if you did it as your ministry?

Enjoy, but remember…

…Be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; – 1st Timothy 6:17

“Christ, …is our life” — Colossians 3:4

[All the faithful saints before us] … confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth — Hebrews 11:13

God gives us “richly all things to enjoy”! We must, however, hold them loosely for though they come into our lives, they are NOT our lives — Christ is; we are just passing through, and so are they.

God picks us up, gives us what (and who) we need for as long as we need, then it/they/we move on. Trying to hold too tightly brings worry, fear, and eventual grief.
