Work Devotional #2: Focus on God

Today, instead of going over a specific issue. I want to just refresh my knowledge and focus on God.

I am doing this in order to avoid focusing so much on fixing myself that I have no purpose. It is great to focus on specific issues and bring it to scripture. However, I know how easily it can start to become more like "self-help". Which is shallow. Worship is deep.

As I am heading into a new day where I will go to work. I want to remember my purpose.

God is way too much for this entire blog could hold. However I just want to focus on my mind on a few things I do know about Him.

God:
-Is mighty and awesome. Accepts no bribes. Shows no partiality. (Deuteronomy 10:17)
-Is not like man. He does not lie. He does not change His mind. When He speaks, He acts. When He promises, He fulfills. (Numbers 23:19)
-He is my guide. (Psalms 48:14)
-He is my strength. My own power fails. But He doesn't. (Psalms 59:9-10,Psalms 73:26)
-He is gracious. Compassionate. Righteous. Not cold or inactive. Present and caring. (Psalms 116:)

This is just a tiny tiny piece of who He is. He controls everything. And He's on my side. Not only that, but His Spirit lives in me. All that power is at my reach. There's no reason to fear because He's protecting me. My job is my job because He gave it to me and wants me there. I can worship Him through my work and by obeying His word because it is for my best.
