工作
工作主導(dǎo)我們的生活 - 特別是在事奉中的我們管毙。
典型的美國人在工作中花了大約15萬小時(shí)(或他的生命的40%)(我猜對(duì)于牧師背桐,數(shù)字甚至更高)关拒。換句話說佃蚜,今年,你將在事奉上花更多的時(shí)間工作着绊,思考谐算,這些花在事奉上的時(shí)間比你吃喝,放松和度假 - 所有時(shí)間的總和還多归露。
現(xiàn)在氯夷,神要你在事奉上成功。事實(shí)上靶擦,在圣經(jīng)中,上帝提供這樣的保證:
【箴16:3】你所做的雇毫,要交托耶和華玄捕,你所謀的,就必成立棚放。
讓上帝掌管你的工作是什么意思枚粘?有三個(gè)步驟我建議:
1.尋求上帝的指引
請(qǐng)他每天指導(dǎo)你:在你的計(jì)劃,組織飘蚯,決策馍迄,實(shí)施以及與你聯(lián)系的每個(gè)人的關(guān)系上【种瑁【箴15:8】正直人祈禱攀圈,為他所喜悅。
2.提高你的技能
為神的榮耀成為你能成為的最好的人峦甩。不要停止學(xué)習(xí)赘来。尋找培養(yǎng)他給你的天賦的方法】粒【傳10:10】鐵器鈍了犬辰,若不將刃磨快,就必多費(fèi)氣力冰单,但得智慧指教幌缝,便有益處。(技能將帶來成功)
3.保持積極的態(tài)度
拒絕被別人的擔(dān)心诫欠,抱怨或其他人的懶惰傳染涵卵。記住浴栽,熱情來自希臘短語(entheos),意思是“在上帝里面”缘厢。 【西3:23】無論做什么吃度,都要從心里做(盡最大的努力),像是給主做的贴硫,不是給人做的椿每。
這些條件保證上帝會(huì)在工作上賜福與你。

How to Put God in Charge of Your Ministry
By Pastor Rick Warren
Work
Work dominates our lives — especially thoseof us in ministry.
The typical American spends about 150,000hours — or 40 percent of his life — at work (I suspect that for pastors, thenumber is even higher!)
In other words, you’ll spend more timeworking in ministry, thinking about ministry, and commuting to your ministrythan you will eating, relaxing, and vacationing — all combined — this year.
Now, God wants you to succeed in ministry.In fact, in the Bible, God offers this guarantee:
“Put God in charge of your work, then whatyou’ve planned will take place” (Proverbs 16:3 MSG).
What does it mean to put God in charge ofyour work? There are three steps I’d suggest:
Seek God’s Direction
Ask him to guide you every day: in yourplanning . . . your organizing . . . your decision making . . . yourimplementing . . . and in relating to everyone you come in contact with. “TheLord is pleased when good people pray” (Proverbs 15:8a GNT).
Sharpen Your Skills
Be the best you can be for God’s glory.Never stop learning. Look for ways to cultivate the talents he’s given you.“Ifthe ax is dull and its edge unsharpened, more strength is needed, but skillwill bring success” (Ecclesiastes 10:10 NIV).
Stay Positive in Your Attitude
Refuse to be infected by the worrying, thecomplaining, or the laziness of others. Remember, enthusiasm comes from theGreek phrase (en theos) that means, “to be in God.” “In all the work you aredoing, work the best you can. Work as if you were doing it for the Lord, notfor people” (Colossians 3:23 NCV).
These are the conditions that guarantee God’sblessing on your work.
