Dont Waste Your Life Chapter 8

At the beginning of the Chapter its talking about going to "war" against sin, which we all need to be doing but like it says we dont have to go to a foreign country to fight against the devil and sin but we can do it where we are right now in life, at school, at church, and at work (Braum's is were i work at).  We should also know that God is with us all the time when we are working and he will help guide us in our day to day work. An we also need to know that if God sends us to work at Wal-Mart, or at start our own business, we should start and spread God's word for there and show his love to everyone, and its not a worse job than being a preacher or a bible teacher at a high church or job, we all need to spread God's word anywhere and everywhere.  We also need to thank God often, because without him we can not live, walk, talk, eat, or do anything else, so we need to thank him for his help and giving us life to live and having fun.  We also dont need to dread or be lazy during our job cause its not glorifying to God and then we cant show him off to everyone about how great and awesome he is.  Now beavers are very interesting animals, in the book it says the do all their work not self-consciously and we need to do that and not be self-conscious towards ourselves but towards God.  And if you notice when you are done working hard after a long day at work, you are tired and you go home and sleep like a little baby.  So thats what we need to do with God, we need to work hard for him all day and when we are done and are tired we know that we did good today in working for God.  We also need to notice that our work will save no one, but the work of God can save man.  God knows everything, and he will put us in a job that will give us enough money for all our needs. But God also says that if you eat its because you have worked hard and earned it.  Its hard to work not for the money that you will get out of it, but for showing God to everyone that you work with and who you come into contact with.  We should aim insteat to do the will of God, who sent us.  Our job can be a great thing for God if we meet the needs of others in the name of Jesus.  Our mouth needs to be a fountain of life and be good for God and spreading his word.
