Today, as I am waiting to interview a potential employee I open and email from a friend that has NO idea of where I am or what is going on in my life. This is not a person who has ever sent me an email like this before. Here is what he sent me:
The New Employee
TGIF Today God Is First Volume 2 by Os Hillman
Saturday, January 15 2011
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us (2 Cor 4:7).
What would happen if Jesus took your place for a year in your workplace? Let's consider some hypothetical things that He might do.
He would do His work with excellence. He would be known around the office for the great work He did (Exodus 31:2).
He would develop new ideas for doing things better (Eph 3:20).
He would hang out with sinners in order to develop a relationship with them in order to speak to them about the Father (Mt 9:12).
He would strategically pray for each worker about their concerns and their needs. He would pray for those who even disliked Him (Mt 5:44).
He would rally the office to support a needy family during Christmas (Jer 22:16).
He would offer to pray for those who were sick in the office and see them get healed (Mt 14:14).
He would honor the boss and respect him/her (Titus 2:9).
He would consider the boss as His authority in His workplace (Rom 13:1).
He would be truthful in all his dealings and never exaggerate for the sake of advancement ( Ps 15:2).
He would be concerned about His city (Lk 19:41).
He would always have a motive to help others become successful, even at his own expense (Pr 16:2).
Hmm. Sounds like some good ideas we could each model.
Who really sent this? God is real and he loves us but are we so busy to listen. Or are we moving so fast that we just miss his word. Thank God today that I did not miss this message.
Are you listening? He is speaking...
Peter
