ARE YOU A PROBLEM SOLVER?

This is what my pastor wrote in the newsletter this morning and I hope you will be blessed by it.

Are you a problem solverwhen there is a proble in your workplace..are you the one they call?
When a sistuation needs attention at church...are you the first one asked to help out?
Do you look for opportunities to utilize your gifts to serve others by solving problems??
Do you go the extra miles in the workplace..offering suggestions to solve problems or do you think,"that's not my problem" or "I'm not paid to do that"

Proverbs 3:37 in the new living translation offers some very good advice to those wanting and praying for greater opportunities to open up.
"Do not withold good from those who deserve it when it's in your power to help them"

Your ability to solve problems..will open greater doors of opportunities for you."Initiative is doing the right thing without being told to do it" Too many people do just enough to get by-just enough to draw salary and that's why promotion never seems to manifest.
Be pro-active..if you see a problem in your workplace..offer solution don't wait for yor boss to ask opinion or assistance.
"if you preach, just preach God's message, nothing else;if you help;just help,don't take over;if you teach, stick to your teaching;if you give encouraging guidance,be careful that you don't get  bossy;if you're put in charge, don't manipulate;if you're called to give aid to people in distress,keep your eyes open and be quick to response;if you work with the disadvantaged,don't let yourself get irritated with them or depressed by them.
keep a smile on your face"  Romans 12:6-9 msg
Find the problem closes to you..and solve it.
