"Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord."
~1 Corinthians 15:58~

"Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may
be for the time to come for ever and ever:"
~Isaiah 30:8~

"Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book."
~Jeremiah 30:2~

Administrative Professionals Day is celebrated on April 25th, 2007. Almost every office has a secretary or Administrative Professional. Some are also called "receptionists". This special day is set aside to thank and appreciate all the hard work that they do for their employers. Many receive flowers and are some are taken out to lunch.

What does the Bible say about WORK?
There are 487 verses with the word WORK in it.

"A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken
in due season, how good is it!"
~Proverbs 23:11~

We all have different gifts and talents that the Lord has given us. We need to be using them for His Glory and Honor. When you are at work do you remember and reflect the Word of God in all that you do?

"Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer."
~Psalms 19:14~

How are you using your gifts to serve the Lord?
