Work Place 23rd Psalm

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 before I speak,
And to do all things without
Murmuring and complaining.

He reminds me that He is my Source, not my job
He restores my sanity everyday and guides my decision,
That I might honor Him in everything I do.

Even though I face absurd amounts of emails,
System crashes, unrealistic deadlines,
Budget cutbacks, gossiping co-workers
And an aging body that doesn’t cooperate every morning,
I 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 may let me go.

His faithfulness and love re better than any bonus check
And His retirement plan beats every 401K that exists!
When it’s all said and done, I’ll be working for Him a whole lot longer
And for that I bless His name!

Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.
Colossians 3:17 (NASB)


I am having a hard time of it today at work. And I have to keep repeating this to verse to myself- it is hard to work for the Lord when you are serving ungrateful people, working in a system that doesn't work (welfare system as well as computer system- which has been off-line all morning)and have co-workers who can not be grown up enough to clean up after themselves. I have been praying all morning, and have a feeling I will be that way all week the way its going! I know my memory verse for the week! :-) Hopefully I'll feel better after going to the chiropractor this afternoon...
