What Counts?
There is a story I read
recently. A surgeon in a large city hospital had
a habit of insisting on a few minutes alone before he operated. He had
an outstanding reputation as a surgeon, and one of the young doctors who often
worked with him wondered if there might be a correlation between this habit and
the man’s success.
He
asked the surgeon about his habit, and the surgeon answered, “Yes, there is a relationship. Before
each operation, I ask the Great Physician to be with me, to guide my hands in
their work. There have been times when I did not know what to do next in
surgery, and then came the power to go
on, the power I knew came from God. I would not think of operating without asking His help.”
The surgeon’s words quickly spread through the hospital, and then across
the country. One day a father brought his daughter to the hospital, insisting
that the only doctor he would allow to touch her was the one who works with God.[1]
The apostle Paul recognized this truth
when he wrote: “Therefore, be careful how you walk, not as unwise men, but as wise,
making the most of your time, because the days are evil”. What motivates you to do your job? What energizes you
to do your best? Take some time to cover your work in prayer. You will find
that time well spent, as He helps you to achieve more. May God bless you and keep you always.
