Our God gave us work. But it can have an inappropriate place in your life. I have been at work for the past few days. For Sunday - Thursday, I have been working about 16 hours a day (6:00am-10pm), for this week. Work is good, but life is so much more than work. Zoe life is only found in our Lord Jesus Christ. This is the abundant life that IS the Lord Jesus Christ. We can only be truly living when we are IN HIM. So He is in fact our Life and He in fact will appear and bring us to glory!
So until then, don't seek the approval of men, but of God. Work is cool - God gave it to us. I thank the Lord for my work, but it took up too much of my time this week.
Our Lord Jesus Christ give us "good works prepared for us before hand that we should walk in them" (Ephesians 2:10). So let us seek after these works and avoid vanity.
Christ is all!

Too Much of a Good Thing

i have noticed that once you start seeing God operate in your life, you see Him in and above EVERYTHING in life!! His work is never ending and we must never forget that. at times i can see Him and can become slightly overwhelmed in what He wants to do with me, and seeing that there is so much that needs to be done in this life time. that is where i am at in my walk with Christ. so much work to do and such little time to do it in!
