Does God care about my work?

Yesterday was my once a month budget reviews at work, and I had some serious problems! As a business planning analyst I oversee some 300 accounts and a few of them were grossly over the budget. Most of the problems were no one's fault, but just something that couldn't be avoided. Prior to going to work yesterday morning I spent time praying and in the word, and I specifically prayed for the budget issues I had to deal with in my meetings. To make a long story short the Program showed grace (rarely ever does) and covered the budget over run! I almost couldn't believe it, but then I smiled and laughed out loud as I new God's hand was at work. My God is so great and loves me so much He even cares about my job as I seek to live Jesus among my co-workers. So does God care about our work? I believe He does when we seek to serve Him in everything you do. Genesis 39:2-5 "The Lord was with Joseph, so he succeeded in everything he did as he served in the home of his Egyptian master. Potiphar noticed this and realized that the Lordwas with Joseph, giving him success in everything he did. This pleased Potiphar, so he soon made Joseph his personal attendant. He put him in charge of his entire household and everything he owned. From the day Joseph was put in charge of his master’s household and property, the Lord began to bless Potiphar’s household for Joseph’s sake. All his household affairs ran smoothly, and his crops and livestock flourished."

Pray because God Listens!

Today was a prayer day; lots of things and people to pray for and praises to be given to the Lord. A co-worker of mine came and sat down in my cubicle today and told me about another one of my co-workers. At first I thought it was gossip, but then she looked at me and said, "maybe you can pray for his son to get better." Who am I to be called upon to pray for others? What makes me so great and worthy to intercede with the Father on behalf of another? My sinful self is unworthy and I am powerless to help. However, with the power of the Holy Spirit living in me and Jesus as my intercessor I can go confidently before the throne of our God and know He hears the prayers of his servants. Thank you Lord for hearing a sinner like me, and for using me as a vessel to reach others through your power and grace. John 14:13-14 "You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it!"
