Acts 20 “Work is a Blessing”
“You
yourselves know that these hands ministered to my own needs and to the men who
were with me.” (v.34)
Paul
WORKED for a living. He was a tentmaker (God gave him that trade), and he
not only supported his own needs, but also contributed to the support of
others. Just like Paul, many who serve the church today have day jobs, not
everyone is “on staff”. Many who are not, have their ministries in the evenings,
and on weekends. Either way, ministry is a blessing from God, and so are
our jobs.
As a tentmaker,
Paul led many to Christ and so can you. One does not have to be on staff to be
used by God. Therefore, work as unto the LORD where ever God has you, ministering
to your needs and to the needs of others.
The Truth
“And
whatever you do, do it heartily, as
to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will
receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.” (Colossians 3:23-2)
