Most people feel like they have been hired to do a job.  They are required to do just so much and nothing more.  This is the reason that so many people feel enslaved by what they do.  Very few people that I know like everything about their vocation, but the Lord expects us to do it to the best of ability.

Your employer has the right to expect the best from you.  Years ago a person could expect to be in the same job for a long time.  Some people would go through life having only one or two jobs.  That is not the case anymore.

Recently I read about a Bureau of Labor Statistics survey that began in 1979 that recorded the careers of baby boomers over the next 18 years.  It tracked the number of jobs people born between 1957 and 1964 had from age 18.  They found that each person had an average of 10 jobs.  17% of them had 15 or more.  The report that I read said that only that only 18% of the people had changed jobs less than five times.

We now live in a culture where you may do a varied number of things over your vocational career.  In a time when whole industries appear and disappear, the ability to adapt is necessary.  Whatever we do, we are to be making a difference for Him.

This fact gives everything that we do a new level of importance.  You are where you are to make a difference for Christ as you touch the people around you.

I am always excited to here how God is using people in the workplace.
