TGIF?

Philippians 2:3-4
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interest of others.

Think about your work. Day in and day out, why do you do what you do? Are you trying to climb up the corporate ladder? What does that take? Some people claw their way to the top and many at the expense of others.

I ask again, why do you do what you do? When you meet your maker, will he say, you did ok in your job as an accountant, but I called you to be a marketer?

I ran into a lady in the break room today. She was complaining that today was such a long day and how we STILL had another day to go. She went on to say how short the weekend was going to be.

What a sad state to be in. I looked at her and told her, "wow I feel the exact opposite, I can't wait till next week!" Its sad because I think about how this lady would feel about hearing this verse?

How can we be helpful to others when we are in a desperate state of survival? When we are thanking God on Fridays for getting us away form the people we are to help?

If you can't say, Thank God Is Monday, then something is wrong with why you do what you do.
