Find Perfect in Christ, Not Your Work Place

Work may be a difficult place for some people. We find ourselves getting easily upset, or we think that we cannot go on.

Some believers get frustrated with their workplace, with their colleagues, and thus they go from one job to another, trying to find a perfect place to work.

Perfection is found only in Christ:

"Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God," (Hebrews 6: 1)

and also

Christ's love has perfected us at the Cross:

"But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him." (1 John 2: 5)

and

"Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world." (1 John 4: 17)

If we are not aware that in Christ we are perfected, we will find fault in ourselves and others, including our coworkers and our workplaces.

What do we learn about our walk in Christ:

"Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;" (Ephesians 6: 6)

and

"Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:" (Colossians 3: 22)

This singleness of heart is based on righteousness (Romans 10: 10). When we have a greater revelation of God and His grace in our lives, we rest in Him, and His life pours out through us into our work. Serving the Lord is no burden to the degree that we are always taking from Him righteousness and grace (Romans 5: 17)

Stop trying to perfect yourself, and stop trying to find a perfect workplace. He has already perfected us through His Son (Hebrews 10: 14), and He will complete the work through us that He wants us to do.
