27 desirable traits the Bible makes me better at when I work. Accompanying verses and questions wait for my personal answers. The Bible affects ME at work- I MATTER, MY BIBLE MATTERS- AT WORK.
I want to know how to be important to God in my secular job. I want to know how to be important to people in my secular job. I want people to see that God is valuable at work.
These verses give the Holy Spirit opportunities to influence me as I think through the application questions.
This is an opportunity to think through situations beforehand so I know how to act when I live them. God and I have prepared me for them in advance. When a relevant situation comes up, already knowing how to act, I can concentrate on the situation at hand.
I will be better able to bring glory to God while I am a blessing to clients, my boss, and even to others outside the work place.
Employers can use this as a guideline for how employees should act. Employees who live by these principles are apt to impress their bosses. (And of course the Boss of bosses, God, will be pleased.)

Workers can be assured that what they do matters, that they matter, simply because they are living God’s way at work. They know they are serving God while they are doing a “secular” job.

5 Fun Facts You Don’t Know About Me
I don’t sing. I just learned that different countries have their music instruments set to different keys. I wonder if my ears are set to a key not used in this country.
I had a mechanic once. I didn’t have a car, but I had a mechanic. I discovered his shop while riding a bike past his place. It had a cross on it. I just knew right then he was the mechanic for me. I introduced 3 people to him. One of the people I introduced to him complained because the first three times he took his van to the mechanic the mechanic did the work for free. Good mechanic.
I don’t care about social media. Doesn’t interest me in the least. But I may have to start using it before long so I can tell people about my books.
I had three conflicting cancer diagnoses. And one chemo nurse that told me to wait- new better treatments were on the way. I decided alternative medicine is the way to go.
I read part of a series by J. R. R. Martin. Excellent writing. I will never read another book by him. Evil won. Satan will never win in the end. Read my historical novel, Satan’s Goals, and you will see the truth. I never intended to write that book, and in fact resisted it for a week even as God pushed it. It only took about a week for God to have me writing. It was a quick book to write, and interesting.
