Work

“See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills— to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of crafts.” - Exodus 31:2-5 NIV

Your work matters.

The first person said to be "filled with the Spirit" in the Bible was not a pastor, but a craftsman and artist of wood & stone in Exodus 31:2-5.

Don’t minimize your daily work in the market place – it is nothing less than a Holy Calling

Your work… your position is your platform.

In the New Testament...

o Of the 132 public appearances that Jesus made – 122 were in the marketplace

o Of the 52 parables that Jesus told – 45 had a workplace context

o Of the 40 miracles in the Book of Acts – 39 were in the marketplace

o Work, in its different forms, is mentioned more than 800 times in the Bible – more than all the words used to express worship, music, praise and singing combined.

No matter where or what it is, your work is a holy calling.

Treat it as such…
