SPIRIT
He renews my strength; He guides me along right paths, bringing honour to his name.
Psalms 23:3 NLT
Imagine you’re having a dream and you’re presented with two pills in both hands.
One pill represents speed, and the second pill represents direction. Both have the promise of giving you everything you want.
Which would you choose?
Here’s my answer: I’ll choose “direction” because the anchor scripture already reveals why.
God honours His name and would do anything to keep that honour. And we have now discovered that when He leads us on the right path (direction), He has kept his promise.
Something happens when you go on the right path – your soul is always refreshed. It’s a cycle of restoration that we are yet to fully grasp.
God wants to be glorified, so He offers to lead you in the right paths. When you take that offer, your soul gets refreshed.
Every time your soul is refreshed and your strength renewed, you make clearer decisions in the right direction. When you do this, God is glorified.
See? With God, even work shouldn’t sabotage the rest that you have in Him.
BODY
How can I glorify God through my work?
To glorify God, you need to make the right decisions and your soul must be constantly restored.
How?
Energy flows from within to the outside. When the energy within is depleted, your body runs on reserves until it shuts down.
Constantly replenishing the energy within depends on frequency – how often do you want to go to God to renew you?
Is it hourly, daily, weekly, or even annually? The lower the frequency for refreshing, the higher the likelihood of making wrong decisions that eventually won’t glorify God.
So, to stay exceptional at work, increase your frequency of fellowship with God. Be intentional about praying in the spirit always, meditate on His word, and let Him guide you in applying what you meditate on during the day.
SOUL

Now it’s time for you to decide and move a few things around. What change do you need to make to stay refreshed every day?
Write it down and give yourself a pat on the back because a new journey is about to start.
