For my people will be as long-lived as trees,
my chosen ones will have satisfaction in their work
Isaiah 65:22b (The Message)
In mid November 2008, the Lord showed me this scripture and it lighted me up instantly. I would encourage you to read the same chapter from verse 17 to 25 especially in the message version (you can click this link: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=isa%2065&version=65).
The first thing that comes to mind is the question ‘who are the chosen ones?’ If it did not come straight to you that you are chosen, then you would like to check out 1 Peter 2:9 for confirmation
But you are the one chosen by God... (The Message).
Invariably as Christians we are chosen by God.
Now in this verse God tells us explicitly what His chosen ones will have – satisfaction in their work.
This would mean that irrespective of what the company policy is (ask Daniel in Babylon), irrespective of the nature of your boss (ask Jacob with his father-in-law), the situation affecting everybody (ask Isaac in the time of famine) or even the kind of job you do (ask Joseph the Egyptian slave) God said you will have satisfaction in your work and that settles it.
Quit worrying whether you are in the right job or not. Instead, start confessing the Word of God in your life everyday as you go to work, and you will see God’s Word prevailing over every situation.
