Thank God it’s Monday!

When you wake up on Monday morning do you think “Monday? - Roll on Friday!” or “Thank God it’s Monday!”? What could help you see things differently from now on?

What’s the difference for a Christian between “living to work” and “working to live”?

Do your colleagues at work know you are a Christian – would they be surprised? If they were conducting your staff appraisal how do you think they would rate you? Would you be pleased or embarrassed?

Read Colossians 3:22-25. When is it ok to disobey your boss? How should you deal with a boss who persecutes you and gives you all the dross jobs to do just for being a Christian? How should you deal with a boss who abuses your faith and gives you all the dross jobs because he/she knows that as a Christian you won’t complain?

What areas of work (obedience, attitude, wholeheartedness) stop you from being a better role model for Christ and what can you do to improve things?

Read Luke 19:1-10. What lessons from Zacchaeus can you learn – what might you do at work over the coming weeks that could have a similar impact?

Where does God want you to be? If you are happy and successful are you prepared to move on to somewhere new if God calls you? If you are struggling at work and looking for other opportunities are you prepared to stay where you are for Christ?

Who at work could you be praying for?
