Do you have any responsibilities that you wouldn't miss if you never had to do them again? I know I do. There was a guy in the Bible, Joseph, and he had dreams of being ruler over all but was sold into slavery and put in prison. He did his best with each small task given to him. And his good work and attitude was noticed by the warden. And then, he interprets the pharoah's dreams and rose to power in Egypt. (Found in Gen:39-41) We see that, as Joseph learned, that God rules over every circumstance, even the ones that don't seem important. And what can we get out of this now? That no matter what your situation, no matter how undesirable, you can consider it part of your training for serving God. This is a challenge for me... Take my work for example. I feel that sometimes I have to take on more responsibilities than what I should because our stand in GM doesn't know anything about what he is doing. And ill admit sometimes I don't have the best attitude towards him because I feel like I am not only having to do my job, but his also. And I pray for God to give me a better attitude about it. And I know that God sees my efforts. And I know that in His timing He can change my working situation to a better job when He is through with Him wanting me to be there. So let me ask you... What things in your life do you not like having to do? And how can you get something positive out of it?
