Since it is only work and not some form of formal ministry or “calling” we tend to think that God doesn’t want us to bother Him with the tedious details of our work lives. It just can’t be that important and why would we have to bring our work issues to God? Isn’t He more interested in soul-saving or issues that affect those in pain, need, or suffering? So, we try to humanly muscle through our 40 hours a week and then we wonder why God isn’t rewarding and fulfilling us in our work. If we expect God to intervene without us bringing our work challenges to Him, then we need to readjust our expectations and expect human results. We have to include God in our work lives as He wants us to do so. We are given this word in Psalms 32:2:”The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.” What a tremendous promise to know that God delights in every detail of our lives, including the details of the work we do. So, today you can drive to the office knowing that God wants to be there with you as you balance the books, make that sale, mill that part, fix that machine, prepare that presentation and make that decision, whether it be big or small. Don’t take this wrong, God doesn’t care about the result, He cares about us. He wants to be our best friend and like a best friend is there to hear our worries, our fears, our achievements and our dreams, God wants to be right there with us at work in real time. If you allow Him into the details of your life today, He will be delighted and you can know that He is there with you in any situation you face.
