I recently stumbled across an Internet article that listed the top thirty jobs for 2008. As I read through the list, it hit me that this list was actually a commentary on our society. For example, eight of these thirty jobs are health related jobs. Not surprising given the aging of our baby boomer population (of which I am one!). Five of the career fields are in some way connected to the mental health/counseling arenas. Again not surprising given the growing dysfunction of our society. Two of the top ten jobs are veternarian techs and veternarians. Nothing unexpected here. Just take a look around and see all the "Puffy" the cats and "Rover" the dogs you see! If you want to check out the entire listing, you can find it at: http://msn.careerbuilder.com/custom/msn/careeradvice/viewarticle.aspx?articleid=1248&SiteId=cbmsnsl41248&sc_extcmp=JS_1248_spotlight340&CM=Spotlight_V1_Careers_Feb08&HL=thisyearsbestjobs&cbRecursionCnt=1&cbsid=b9642bb8caab4e62b03442b95e1b119a-255522958-R7-4.Now perhaps you already work in one of these top 30 jobs (if you do look at the list, you will see that I do not!). But no matter what your job, let me encourage you as a follower of Jesus Christ to work your job for all you are worth! If the Apostle Paul urged slaves to work hard, how much more should we who are free and are paid do the same. (Note: In Ephesians 6:7 he writes, "Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men.") Christians should be the best workers in the workplace - bar none!
Thanks for stopping by . . .
