Marketplace Proverbs & Coffee With Ernie

In today’s episode, I reference, with permission, Marty Stubblefield’s devotional on WORK from his Lazy Dog Newsletter. Marty writes: Scripture tells us the first person recorded as “filled with the Spirit” wasn’t a pastor, but a craftsman, a worker. An artist trusted to build something well. Marty quotes Jesus:“We must do the work of Him who sent me, as long as it is day.”—John 9:4In the New Testament…Of the 132 public appearances that Jesus made, 122 were in the marketplace. Of the 52 parables that Jesus told, 45 had a workplace context. Of the 40 miracles in the Book of Acts, 39 were in the marketplace.Our WORK isn’t just a J.O.B. (Just over Broke). Our WORK is sacred when we know who we work for. This is a public episode.
