Even nature teaches us a workplace truth: when God gives us work, he equips us to do it.
This is Howard Butt, Jr., of Laity Lodge. At the start of my career, I knew how I wanted God to use me. But my way gave me headaches.

God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need , you will abound in every good work. (2 Cor. 9:8)
