Five Absolutes Of Worklife Calling (2 of 4)
Series: Worklife Strategy: Reclaiming My Workplace As A God Place
Frank Damazio
Intro: Our work has a special and unique place in our lives as we gain clarity of our worklife calling. Jesus has sent us "into" the world to be salt, light, and a mighty influence. God has uniquely designed us and strategically deployed us to represent Him in the workplace arena. We experience great joy and deep satisfaction when we serve in our workplace with this perspective. This is more than finding the perfect job. It is knowing and experiencing God's will wherever we are and being in a place God can and will use us. Worklife clarity leads to understanding our worklife calling. When our calling is known and affirmed, we can and should have a clear purpose for our life including our vocation, our careers. This calling leads us to priorities, plans, and prayer. Let us pursue this lifestyle.
