Clay in the Hands

I am sure you have heard of the movement WWJD.  For many years we saw the bracelets and the T-shirts with the acronym displayed on them.  I actually thought it was a great idea and I still do.  Asking the question, “What would Jesus do?” became a pretty popular thing to ask among believers.

But the question, at least for me, seemed to be something that came up as I was faced with a decision.  The idea was that when we had to chose between one thing or another, we should ask ourselves what Jesus would do.

I subscribe to an emailed devotional offered by Lead Like Jesus and so earlier this week, I received my regular devotional and it put this question into a different light for me.

The first question of the Lead Like Jesus post on Monday was this:  “How would Jesus do your job differently?”

Think about that for a minute.  This question moves beyond assistance in decision making to directly addressing our lifestyle and leadership style.  What am I planning on doing today and would  Jesus do it differently?

I have to say that this question caused me to stop and think.

How about you?  Would Jesus do your job differently today?  Would he treat people differently than you normally treat them?  Would he approach the tasks at hand with more vigor?  Would he place the same importance on the things you see as important?

Just some things to think about today.
