Work

by Sterling Burke

In the world we live in, work and work ethic is something we have strayed far from. We have become complaisant and lazy. We are self-centered and think others should be doing the work for us. We chose not to work when we have the chance. We chose not to work and stay diligent to the little things that take up no amount of time at all, all the while thinking someone else will do it later. When really the only thing we’re choosing not to do is build self discipline and order.

In choosing to put off even the little things were creating a pattern in our lives that will carry on. It’s never just enough to show up to work on time, or clean up after yourself just once after a long history of not doing these things and say its all ok. We have to be constant and steady in our work not matter what we are doing.

When we stay focused to the work God has placed in front of us; unwavering to the work He has for us, we will see so much more happen in our lives. He will open new doors with jobs and tasks for us that we never thought could be open.We will see new things happen and prayers come to pass if we just stay diligent to His work and call on our lives. Even if we’re stuck in a office behind a desk all day He has you there for a reason and if you stay attentive to the small-things He will be able to work though you more and more.

  1. Sterling! I'm so pleased to see the man you are becoming. Although I have never seen you as far as I can remember, I pray for you and your family regularly. This blog is so "on target" about getting things done for God...both the big things and the little things. May you be blessed and be a blessing wherever you are and wherever you go. Next time you are here in the states I want you to tell your Dad that he must make sure that my wife and I get to take you all out to eat somewhere. ☺
