Good Morning!! OK, here's another
way to look at inventorying our lives,...let's think about
choices in the workplace. Sometimes we tend to live by a different set
of standards in our career or business. But God wants us to be guided by
His principles in every area of our lives. It's especially important to
consider our motives for doing what we do at work. Are
we motivated mostly by our desire to move up the ladder and make more
money,...or is honoring our Father still our most important motivator? Try to make a list of questions to ask yourself,...start with these:
Do I base business decisions solely on my desire to succeed, or do I first consider the integrity of my choices?
Has my work become so all-consuming that I am putting it above my focus on my family?
Am I participating in workplace gossip or complaining?
What kind of influence am I having on those around me?
Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test?—2 Corinthians 13:5 (NIV)
As we confess our failures to God, He will forgive us and help us chart the better path. God loves us. Only as we choose to do things His way will we find real success,...the kind that lasts for an eternity.
Father God, help us clearly see our motives, for all that we do in the workplace. Forgive use for letting our desire to get ahead in our careers, overshadow our desire to honor You,...in all we do. We pray above all that our employers and co-workers will see Jesus in us,...and that You will use us to encourage them, and influence them toward You. In Jesus name Amen.

Honestly inventorying your attitudes and actions in the workplace,...without making excuses, is the first step toward correcting any problem areas.
