Psalm 23 for the Working Man
The Lord is my real boss, and I shall not want.
He gives me peace, when chaos is all around me.
He gently reminds me to pray and do all things without murmuring and complaining.
He reminds me that He is my source and not my job.
He restores my sanity every day and guides my decisions that I might honor Him in all that I do.
Even though I face absurd amounts of e-mails, system crashes, unrealistic deadlines, budget cutbacks, gossiping co-workers, discriminating supervisors and an aging body that doesn’t cooperate every morning, I still will not stop – for He is with me!
His presence, His peace, and His power will see me through.
He raises me up, even when they fail to promote me.
He claims me as His own, even when the company threatens to let me go.
His faithfulness and love is better than any bonus check.
His retirement plan beats any 401K there is!
When it’s all said and done, I’ll be working for Him a whole lot longer and for that, and I will Bless His Name!
Amen.

Thanks for the reality check this early-to-the-office morning. Having His presence with us through “absurd amounts of email” – ftw!
That soooo speaks to me.
“He claims me as His own, even when the company threatens to let me go.”
Love this!
nice
