Your work is part of God's plan

By Rick Warren at purposedriven.com
For we are God's workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance
for us to do. Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)

"The gifts, the abilities, the talents, even the
interests you have -- they were genetically encoded into you by God."


Your work can be
an act of worship. No matter what you do, it's never just a job if you
are a believer. This is because God designed you with talents, gifts and
interests that He wants used for His glory. 

You are
custom-made
.  There's nobody like you in the whole world.  And
the gifts, the abilities, the talents, even the interests you have --
they were genetically encoded into you by God. God made you with a
specific mission in mind -- and He wants you to use the gifts he's
given you in your work. 

The Bible says you are God's
workmanship
. The Greek word used for workmanship is poema.
That's where the English word poem comes from -- you are
God's poem! You are God's work of art. You are God's masterpiece.

Your
work is part of God's plan for your life and that is why, as you work,
you worship God.
