Believe in What You Do
"Make sure they are... gifted with knowledge... and are suited to serve." Daniel 1:4 NLT
When Daniel arrived in Babylon, he was a slave. But he rose to the top because of these qualifications: "Make sure they are well versed in every branch of learning, are gifted with knowledge and good judgment, and are suited to serve." To be promoted in any job, you must first prove yourself. The Bible says, "Do you see someone skilled in their work? They will serve before kings" (Proverbs 22:29 NIV). Unless you believe in what you're doing, you won't give yourself fully to it; therefore, you have no right to expect to succeed. Have you ever walked into a room and felt love, energy, and excitement? Your thoughts have a presence; they're like currents moving through the air, capable of drawing people to you or driving them away. Your attitude is always sensed. That's why in order to succeed, you must believe in what you do. If you don't - pray and ask God to relocate you someplace where you can put your whole heart into it. Jesus totally believed in His product. He told the woman at the well, "Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst" (John 4:13-14). You must take the time and make the effort to know your business. You may be anxious to sell, pocket the profit, and get on with your life. But success doesn't happen that way. Jesus spent time praying in order to renew His understanding of His purpose. So the word for you today is - pray and believe in what you do!
