Kingdom Minds

God's had something on my mind the last week or so, so I decided I would blog about it. Often times, I think we do things with the mindset that it's a means to an end. Perhaps I'm going to school just as a means to get a job. Or I'm working in a company as a means to get a promotion to the job I really want. Or the latest for me, I realized that I was seeing my job I just got as a means to pay for school and other things I need. God really convicted me about that. I don't think that's the way God works. He doesn't have us do things as a means to an end. He has us in places for a reason and I think we miss out on that reason when we think in that mindset. God wants us to have his Kingdom mindset in every aspect of my life. The reason I'm at this job is because God has a purpose for me there. He wants me to be a light for my co-workers and probably has things he wants to teach me through being at this job. I think it's critical that we change our mindsets to begin viewing every part of our lives in light of His kingdom. Otherwise we will miss out on so much that He's called us to in this life.
