We can rejoice when we run into problems and trials, because we know that they are good for us - they help us learn to endure. And endurance develops strength of character in us, and character strengthens our confident expectation of salvation. Romans 5:3-4 (NLT)
Linna: What you become as a result of your work is far more important than any job you'll ever have. That's why, in order to succeed in your work, you need to Concentrate on building your character.
"It's important to realize you will never outgrow temptation."
Rick Warren
To SUCCEED, you must -
Start working enthusiastically.
Understand who you really work for.
Concentrate on building your character.
Linna: Look again at today's verse because some people have a misunderstanding about temptation. They think that, once they become a Christian, they should be beyond temptation.
It's important to realize you will never outgrow temptation. In fact, the closer you are to God, the more you become an enemy of Satan, and the more he will try to tempt you. The good news is that he has given you greater strength to resist it.

Linna: When you are tempted at work - to be unkind, to get angry, to be prideful or greedy - remember that every temptation is not only an opportunity to do good but, it's also an opportunity to grow in character.
For example, when you encounter an annoying co-worker, the temptation may be for you to get upset with that person. But the Bible says to bless those who curse you and pray for those who offend you. So instead of getting mad, use it as an opportunity to praise God.
Say, "Lord, I thank you for this person and I want to pray they have a good day. I pray they come to know you and that you will bless that person."
