Being in the field of HR (Organization Development) for some time, made me think what the 'model employee' might consist of.............
What would happen if Jesus took your place for a period of time in your place of work ?
Let's consider some hypothetical things that He might do:
* He would do His work with excellence. He would be known around the office for the great work He did (Exodus 31:2).
* He would develop new ideas for doing things better (Eph 3:20).
* He would hang out with sinners in order to develop a relationship with them in order to speak to them about the Father (Mt 9:12).
* He would strategically pray for each worker about their concerns and their needs. He would pray for those who even disliked Him (Mt 5:44).
* He would rally the office to support a needy family during Christmas (Jer 22:16).
* He would offer to pray for those who were sick in the office and see them get healed (Mt 14:14).
* He would honor the boss and respect him/her (Titus 2:9).
* He would consider the boss as His authority in His workplace (Rom 13:1).
* He would be truthful in all his dealings and never exaggerate for the sake of advancement ( Ps 15:2).
* He would be concerned about His city (Lk 19:41).
* He would always have a motive to help others become successful, even at his own expense (Pr 16:2).
Hmm. Sounds like some good ideas me & ...you could each model......
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us (2 Cor 4:7).
Shalom

So true but so many times I and fellow Christians fall short of being His eyes, ears, hand and feet at work. May He help us all to be faithful and shining lights at work.
