思考職場上的優先次序

THINKING THROUGH WORKPLACE PRIORITIES

 

像很多人一樣,在我早年的職業生涯當中,為了要成功,我嘗試每一件事。為了成功,我用盡最大的努力,比做其他事情更多。

 

我第一次遇見葛雷(Gregg)的時候,他說:「瑞克(Rick), 如果你選擇跟我一起工作,你必須知道我生活的優先次序:神第一、我的家庭第二、工作第三。」我為主工作好幾十年,聽到他說的,正好與我的想法不謀而合。我很難想像葛雷的優先次序怎麼去影響他開的銀行,也是我們工作的地方。

 

但是,很快的,在進行下一個大工程時,葛雷按照聖經所說的原則和順序來做決定。我在旁邊觀察他的時候,看到了我們應該如何尋求神的智慧,也鼓勵我去思考要如何將神擺在第一位。把神擺在第一位對我的工作,工作品質和效率有正面的影響。

 

我對工作的看法和生活的優先次序無法一夜之間改變。但是葛雷立下了一個典範,在我的心裡留下了很深遠的影響。這樣的想法之後會開花結果,改變我對工作、工作的目的以及我自己的思考模式。最後,它也會建立一個輔導的事工,當我們在試圖幫助別人,以及了解耶穌對我們的訓誨:你們要先求他的國和祂的義,這些東西都要加給你們了。(馬太福音6章33節)

 

把神放在生活的第一順位說得容易,做到卻不容易。第一、我們必須要相信這是行得通的,然後才能去做。一路上,當然有各種試煉,挑戰我們的信心。很多時候我們不禁會想:「如果我堅持把神放在第一位是行不通的。」或者「只是一個小小的妥協,不會造成甚麼傷害的。這次我稍微改一下原則,下次就不會了。」

 

然而,我們雅各書裡面讀到要堅持原則的理由:「我的弟兄們,你們落在百般試煉中,都要以為大喜樂;因為知道你們的信心經過試驗,就生忍耐。但忍耐也當成功,使你們成全、完備,毫無缺欠。」(雅各書 1章2-4節) 當我們的信心受到考驗的時候,包括我們想堅持優先次序時,我們就是在培養毅力了。當時機困難的時候,毅力可以幫助我們堅持自己的信仰。

 

有些人覺得把神放在第一位聽起來是個太理想化的原則,不符合現實。我們生活在一個高度競爭、無法通融的商業環境中,而且在這裡大部分的人都是逆著聖經的原則在做事的,我們怎麼可能在這種狀況下生存下來?我們總是要面對現實,對吧!

 

我遇見葛雷的時候也是這樣想的,但是他證明了這是錯誤的想法。即使是遇見困難或是遇到非常難以決定的選擇時,他從沒動搖過。他一直堅守他告訴過我的生活優先次序:神第一、家庭第二、工作第三。當然,想要堅守這樣的原則你要付出代價和做出必要的犧牲,但是葛雷從來沒有妥協過,也從來沒有後悔過。

現在就讓我問你一件問題:神在你的職場生活中排在第幾位?

反省與問題討論

一、在你的職場生活中,優先次序是甚麼?你是否有意識地在心裡去定義每一個優先順序?你是否把

        它們寫下來,甚至是每一段時間都拿出來重新再檢視一遍?

二、你是否像葛雷一樣,努力在工作和生活上面把神擺在第一位?要堅持這樣的原則很容易或是很困

        難?你曾經遇到甚麼樣的困難?

三、如果在職場上你並沒有把神擺在第一位,你可以想出有誰把神擺在第一位的嗎?從你的觀察當

        中,堅守這樣的原則對一個人的生活會有甚麼樣的影響?

 四、你覺得對你來說,堅持把神擺在第一位,最大的考驗是甚麼?你是否在當中培養了毅力?為什麼

         毅力很重要或甚至是必要的呢?

 

備註:如果你手上有聖經,想要閱讀更多和這個主題相關的經節,請參考:

            詩篇127:1-2; 以賽亞書 26:3, 41:10; 馬太福音 6:9-13, 19-21, 24-34; 腓立比書 4:19

 

詩篇127篇1-2節

127:1 若不是耶和華建造房屋,建造的人就枉然勞力;若不是耶和華看守城池,看守的人就枉然警醒。

127:2 你們清晨早起,夜晚安歇,吃勞碌得來的飯,本是枉然;惟有耶和華所親愛的,必叫他安然睡覺

以賽亞書 26篇3節 堅心倚賴你的,你必保守他十分平安,因為他倚靠你。

以賽亞書41章10節 你不要害怕,因為我與你同在;不要驚惶,因為我是你的 神。我必堅固你,我必幫助你;我必用我公義的右手扶持你。

馬太福音 69-13

6:9 所以,你們禱告要這樣說:我們在天上的父:願人都尊你的名為聖。

6:10 願你的國降臨;願你的旨意行在地上,如同行在天上。

6:11 我們日用的飲食,今日賜給我們。

6:12 免我們的債,如同我們免了人的債。

6:13 不叫我們遇見試探;救我們脫離兇惡。因為國度、權柄、榮耀,全是你的,直到永遠。阿們!

馬太福音 6章 19-21節

6:19 「不要為自己積攢財寶在地上;地上有蟲子咬,能銹壞,也有賊挖窟窿來偷。

6:20 只要積攢財寶在天上;天上沒有蟲子咬,不能銹壞,也沒有賊挖窟窿來偷。

馬太福音 6章24-34節

6:24「一個人不能事奉兩個主;不是惡這個、愛那個,就是重這個、輕那個。你們不能又事奉 神,又事奉瑪門(瑪門:財利的意思)。」

6:25 「所以我告訴你們,不要為生命憂慮吃甚麼,喝甚麼;為身體憂慮穿甚麼。生命不勝於飲食嗎?身體不勝於衣裳嗎?

6:26 你們看那天上的飛鳥,也不種,也不收,也不積蓄在倉裏,你們的天父尚且養活牠。你們不比飛鳥貴重得多嗎?

6:27 你們哪一個能用思慮使壽數多加一刻呢(或譯:使身量多加一肘呢)?

6:28 何必為衣裳憂慮呢?你想野地裏的百合花怎麼長起來;它也不勞苦,也不紡線。

6:29 然而我告訴你們,就是所羅門極榮華的時候,他所穿戴的,還不如這花一朵呢!

6:30 你們這小信的人哪!野地裏的草今天還在,明天就丟在爐裏, 神還給它這樣的妝飾,何況你們呢!

6:31 所以,不要憂慮說,吃甚麼?喝甚麼?穿甚麼?

6:32 這都是外邦人所求的,你們需用的這一切東西,你們的天父是知道的。

6:33 你們要先求他的國和他的義,這些東西都要加給你們了。

6:34 所以,不要為明天憂慮,因為明天自有明天的憂慮;一天的難處一天當就夠了。」

腓立比書 4章19節

4:19 我的 神必照他榮耀的豐富,在基督耶穌裏,使你們一切所需用的都充足。
