Signs are all around us directing us and helping us. Stop, Winding Road, Falling Rocks, Photo Enforced, and Wrong Way are just a few examples. When it comes to life, God has given us signs and directions. What are they? How do we follow them? In this five week series, learn about God’s wisdom, forgiveness, staying the straight path, handling stress, and more.
The average person spends 60% of their waking hours at work. When work is stressful or an unhappy place, it can affect every other part of our lives. In this series, we’ll discover some real help from God’s Word in choosing a career, making career moves, managing stress, and living out your faith in the workplace.
Every January many of us experience something that could only be described as “Christmas remorse.” We go into the Christmas season saying, “It’s going to be different this year. I’m going to slow down. I’m going to stay within my budget. I’m going to focus on the real meaning of Christmas.” Then January comes and we are exhausted, feeling further away from God than we did before the Christmas season.
We need to mind God’s business, not the business of others who would distract us from our divine purpose. Citing the blind man given sight by Jesus in John 9, we should focus on the divine resolution, rather than the miracle worked. The whys and inequalities of life aren’t important; what’s important is to be ready and able to do God’s work when called upon, to His glory. Resolve to turn away from distractions, such as procrastination, jealousy, addictions, pessimism, etc. which will “come out of the woodwork” to keep us from realizing the unique task He has carved out for each of us.
