Mindset
15 All of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. 16 Only let us live up to what we have already attained.
17 Join together in following my example, brothers and sisters, and just as you have us as a model, keep your eyes on those who live as we do. 18 For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. 19 Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things. 20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body. Phillipians 3:15-21
Do you have a certain mindset going into the work week, or even the weekend for that matter? When I look at the work week, sometimes there are so many things that I am thinking about or anticipating things that I have to get done for my job, I don't take the time to think about my future. I definitely know going into the weekend, I usually have it in my mind of exactly what I am going to do and what has to get done at home. How many times do I reach completion of those things during the week and on the weekend? It all depends on my mindset and what direction I give myself. If I find myself focused on the things of this world that don't have much of an impact on who I am, then it is really easy for me to beat myself up for not completing the tasks I sat out to do. But, if I focus on Who I Am and where I AM Going, then it can be somewhat more enjoyable and less stressful to complete the work I set out to accomplish. If we work for a passion for the Lord and what He wants us to do, then our mind will be in the right place and we can enjoy what we have completed or accomplished. Get your mindset right for any work and remember why and for Who you are doing the work.
Have a great weekend.
