You\u2019re A \u2018Priest\u2019 At Work \u2013 Part 1<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u2018Be fruitful…multiply…and govern.\u2019 Genesis\u00a01:28<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you want to know God\u2019s original intention for each of us, look at Adam.\u00a0\u2018God created human beings in his own image…Then God blessed them and said, \u2018\u2018Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it\u2019\u2019\u2019 (vv. 27-28).\u00a0We were created to be productive, to multiply and to govern. And every profession known to man is encapsulated in those three words. A priest is one who represents God on behalf of others, and others on behalf of God. But in reality, that was the original description of all of us. We were made in God\u2019s image to continue His work of making the earth flourish, and by our flourishing, give voice to the whole earth to praise God. All work was designed by God to be priestly work. It\u2019s not just professional clergy or missionaries who are called by God, nor are they more pleasing or important to Him. Bible scholar N.T. Wright paints a wonderful image of this concept. Picture human beings as mirrors set at a 45-degree angle between heaven and earth. We were created to reflect God\u2019s care and dominion of the earth, and reflect the worship and gratitude of creation back to God. This is what we do when we work. You have a calling. You are gifted. You are a priest. This isn\u2019t just something that relates to volunteering at church. Your work is a primary place\u2014maybe the primary place where your calling gets lived out. When you start seeing yourself as \u2018ordained by God\u2019 to do the job you do, it\u2019ll put a smile on your face, a spring in your step, and add dignity to your work. This is what Martin Luther described as the Priesthood of all Believers!<\/p>\n

Prayer<\/b>
\nHeavenly Father, help me see that all that I do is a calling by You to reflect You to all I work with. In Jesus\u2019 Name, Amen<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
