The Power of the Spirit at Work in You

The Power of the Spirit at Work in You

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control." — Galatians 5:22

In your work as electricians, you know that the right tools and connections are essential to completing a job well. But as you navigate through the challenges of your profession, there is an even greater power working within you—the fruit of the Spirit.

Each of these qualities—love, joy, peace, forbearance (patience), kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—are tools God has given you to not only excel in your work but to make a difference in the lives of others. Let’s take a moment to reflect on how these spiritual qualities can strengthen you each day:

• Love fuels your compassion for others, helping you to serve your clients and coworkers with care.
• Joy gives you strength, even on the toughest days, reminding you that your work has purpose.
• Peace brings calm in the middle of tight deadlines and stressful situations, helping you to stay grounded.
• Patience (Forbearance) helps you handle difficulties and delays with grace.
• Kindness and Goodness allow you to show empathy and integrity in all your dealings.
• Faithfulness strengthens your commitment to your work, your colleagues, and to God’s calling for you.
• Gentleness fosters a spirit of humility, especially in challenging interactions.
• Self-Control helps you stay disciplined, focused, and centered, even when frustrations arise.

When you allow these fruits of the Spirit to guide your actions, you not only become a better electrician, but you become a light in the workplace. These qualities are your greatest source of strength and character, transforming how you approach your work and your relationships.

As you go into this week, remember: Just as the power flows through the cables you install, God’s Spirit flows through you. Let His fruit be evident in all you do, and watch how it transforms both your work and your heart.

Stay rooted in the Spirit and let His fruit shine through your work!
