NOTHING w/TODAY

Matthew 25:29
To those who use well what they are given, even more will be given, and they will have an abundance. But from those who do nothing, even what little they have will be taken away.
Good morning, and HAPPY MONDAY! ( I know some of you are like " REALLY RAY!!!! HAPPY MONDAY??!?!!??? If you knew how much work I have to do........)  No but really serious happy MONDAY!  This is all about perspective.   The scripture today is Jesus talking to us....if you desks looks like this cartoon's guy desk....look at it through the lens of this scripture.   If you were the lazy one on the job, the one that shucked and jived all day....do you actually think they would entrust more to you?  HECK NO....you know the person that they given little to no work to, WHY?  Because they know they will DO NOTHING...but you.....well you churn it out, and while doing other things.

Now I know from first hand experience.....this can also be deflating and defeating, if you let it!   WE have to constantly look to GOD, cause if we don't, we will become OVERWHELMED.  Evaluations are coming up...and if you feel like you are overworked, under payed...and under-appreciated...I challenge you really think about WHY your company trusts you with so much work.  Then call upon your help!  GOD is trying to set you up for a promotion, don't let your attitude & emotions get you overlooked, instead of looked over because of your response to the workload.   Understand you are one person, but you SERVE A INCREDIBLE GOD, that is able to DO EXCEEDINGLY (NOT DO NOTHING), ABUNDANTLY, ABOVE ALL YOU CAN ASK AND THINK, ACCORDING TO THE POWER THAT WORKS IN YOU! (Eph. 3:20)   SO LETS FACE THE DAY, THIS MONDAY....with courage...knowing GOD IS WITH US, and HAS EQUIPPED US and doing nothing, isn't an option for CHRIST FOLLOWERS! LGLP
