TGIF for Men: 7 Devotions for the Workplace预览

# Called to Craftsmanship Bezalel was called by God to perform a most important work for him. God wanted him to be the chief artisan of the tabernacle, the ark of the covenant, and the priests’ garments. I am sure that Bezalel believed that he was naturally gifted with his hands to make fine crafts with gold, silver, and bronze. He probably did not associate it with God’s work. But the Scripture tells us that God chose him and filled him with God’s Spirit. Does God call men like you into their vocations to fulfill his purposes? Have you ever thought about how the balance of interest among humans throughout the world happened? Was it by chance that we have only so many doctors, only so many accountants, only so many geologists? Your interest in your vocation is not born of your own making. So many workplace believers and even pastors have made the mistake of encouraging those of us who have a deep desire to walk with Christ in the workplace to pursue vocational ministry. To remove us from the workplace where the greatest harvest has yet to occur would be to remove us from where God called us. Do not take the bait. Serve the Lord in the workplace where he has gifted you and called you. Question: Do you see your work as a ministry? Father, use me in the area of my calling to manifest your presence and power.
