Take This Job and Love It!

Having a great attitude toward our job is necessary no matter who we are—
White collar, blue collar, no collar.
Executives, homemakers, retirees, and students. 

Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ.
Colossians 3:23-24

Message Notes

Having a great attitude toward our jobs applies to everyone—white collar, blue collar, no collar, executives, homemakers, retired, and students. 

What I Have Learned from the Jobs I Have Had:

• If you’re willing to do anything - that’s not immoral or illegal - you’ll always have a job.

• Jobs don’t initially come looking for you. You have to go looking for them.

• Success requires submitting to authority, even if you have a bad boss.

• When no one will hire you, you can hire yourself.

• If you care about people, there will be something in every job that makes it worthwhile.

Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ.Colossians 3:23-24

What We Can Learn From Paul:

• WHO you are is more important than WHAT you do.

• Expecting appreciation from people will lead to frustration.

• Change the environment by changing your perspective.

• Doing what you do well brings honor to God.
