Five Proven Practices to Establish Your Name at Work

Just recently I returned from a Children’s Ministry conference in North Carolina. The Keynote Speakers were tremendous and the Breakout Sessions were very productive.
Talking to other Children’s Ministry Pastors and Directors made me see a pattern in how and why they did this crazy thing called ministry.  I began to see a pattern in work ethics and attitudes. Those that complained about their jobs the most in comparison to those who shared and reflected joy in their jobs.
I began to see a list forming, a practice of attitude that flowed out of those with the joy and excitement of serving in the Children’s Ministry.

These practices can easily be passed onto anyone in the work force as well.
Here they are…

1. Don’t just work; work to be really good at something.
Proverbs 22:29

2. Be responsive to those above you and earn their trust.
Proverbs 25:13

3. Overdeliver
Proverbs 10:4

4. Be an encourager and teambuilder.
1 Thess 5:11
Ephesians 4:29

5. Keep your word.
Matthew 5:37
Psalm 15:4

I know there is much more than just this short list of 5; however, it is a great litmus test for me as I approach each day and each facet of the ministries the Lord has given me charge of.
