Comments on: Monday Devotions - I Want to Be a Fool http://www.worshipmatters.com/2006/10/monday-devotion-3/ Resources for Leading Worship from Bob Kauflin Fri, 16 May 2008 11:26:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Jadie Stiven http://www.worshipmatters.com/2006/10/monday-devotion-3/#comment-849 Jadie Stiven Wed, 25 Oct 2006 20:46:34 +0000 http://www.worshipmatters.com?p=227#comment-849 Brother - thank you for your encouraging words, to be a fool for Christ - not a fool for the world. I have recently been struggling at work (where I am only in my first 'qualified' year as a physiotherapist), finding that keeping up with the workload in 'out-patients department' where I am working at the moment, so very difficult. Hearing a message recently from a good friend hear at Grace Church (Bristol) has reminded me that I am working for God, and that I should be seeking to work well for my managers in order to WORSHIP GOD - not seeking to earn their praise and by doing so worship my self-esteem (or them). Your reminder has been useful, that whilst non-believers may pin their hopes on looking good in front of their managers, getting promoted and making plenty of cash... us followers of Christ are meant to be 'fools' in their eyes... living for Christ alone! May I grow in the knowledge of this truth. Amen <> Brother - thank you for your encouraging words, to be a fool for Christ - not a fool for the world.
