383. Your Job is Your Ministry - #5 - September 20, 2023

Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 20. I will begin the podcast by reviewing the series that we are currently on. Last week I spend Monday's, Wednesday's, and Thursday's podcasts on people who do not enjoy going to work because they do not like the job that they do. I gave a number of suggestions of things you could possibly do to improve your situation. On Monday's podcast I talked about people who are extremely shy and do not like working (or getting along) with people. This could possibly cause hardships at work. Today we will be looking at situations where you have a "sandpaper" person that you have to work with on a regular basis. I will begin today's podcast by looking at Proverb 20:verse 1 - Wine is a mocker, Strong drink is a brawler, And whoever is led astray by it is not wise. Friends, that absolute worst thing you can do if you do not like your situation at work is to begin drinking because of it. An example of this would be to have a "couple drinks" on your lunch break. Nothing good can come from this. Instead, try thinking about the following scriptures: Proverb 18:21; Psalm 141:verse3; Ephesians 4: verse 29 & Colossians 3: verse 23. Call to Action: If you have a sandpaper person that you work on a regular basis with I invite you to follow the recommendations mentioned on today's podcast. Suggested scripture reading: 1. Reread today's proverb, Proverb 20 in its entirety; 2. Review & meditate (and possibly commit to memory) the verses mentioned above.
