Sometime tomorrow, you`re going to get some work done. ... Many of us will do work, and we`ll look at a computer. Maybe you work in an office; maybe you go to school; maybe you work at home; maybe you`re paid for it; maybe you`re a volunteer. It doesn`t matter. All of us create value. That`s all that work is. From a Biblical perspective, that`s all that work is. It`s the creation of value, and all of us do that. So what would it look like if you were to work with Jesus?

First, work becomes something that you do together, because you were not meant to work on our own. That`s why it becomes so burdensome for us when we try to do it all by ourselves. Wherever you work tomorrow, take a moment before you start, when you sit down at your desk; invite Jesus to partner with you. Say, Jesus, I`d like You to work with me. Take a moment to ask Him to do that. When you have a tough problem, ask for His help!

When you have to make a decision and you`re not sure of what to do, ask for His wisdom. Then pause for a moment and assume that He really will speak to you. Put a symbol on your desk to remind you that you and Jesus are working together. It doesn`t have to be a religious looking symbol. One of the things that I do is that I have stones with words on them on my desk. One says "Joy." When I look at it, I say, "Oh yes."

Every few hours, when you are working, just pause. Look out the window, if you have one, or at something that brings beauty to you, and remember that God is at work in the whole world. Thank Him for His help and ask Him for energy. Work with Jesus¨you have to work anyhow¨when you get to the end of the day, rather than feeling defeated or inadequate or like "I didn`t get enough done, " or "I wasted too much time." In the Bible, when God is at work during the first week of Creation, there`s a kind of rhythm. It says that God speaks ''that`s how God works'' and it is so ''what God says happens'', and God sees what He has done and God sees that it is good.
