Workers, Not Chatterers

8/25/2016

0 Comments

 
"Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.  Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly." -II Timothy 2:15-16 (NIV)
Over the past couple of years, I have volunteered at a local non-profit.  It is interesting to see the interactions of different people.  Some people quietly work behind the scenes improving the programs and services of the organization.  Others talk about all they do for the organization, but in reality offer little work or support.  When we consider our place in God's Kingdom, we should consider what God expects and how we want to respond!

We can choose to be workers or talkers.  We can be workers that try our best to live as God directs us and that try to further His Kingdom.  We can also choose to talk about how good we are and all that we accomplish, while not putting in any true effort or making any real change.  When we are working, even if it is quietly, God knows that we are listening to and working for Him.  Whenever we engage in idle talk, chatter, or gossip, we do not make progress for God and can actually become more ungodly in the process.  As we consider our roles in life, we should choose to be workers for God, not bystanders engaged in chatter!

Choose to be a worker for God and not an idle chatterer!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for the lessons that You teach and for the work that You have placed before me.  Help me to be a worker for You and not an idle bystander.  Through Jesus I pray, amen.
