Who’s My Boss?

Scripture: Colossians 3: [23] Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men,

Observation: If people notice the way I work they might think I’m self-employed. I react on how I’m affected and treated. I take pride when things go well and when things do not I get upset. At times I treat my customers poorly like today when the kids were asking what was in the food I would give a sarcastic remark and move to the next person instead of treating them the way Jesus would like me to treat them. I work hard and I’m gifted to do the job I’m doing, but I’m doing it for me and not for my Lord.

Application: I can only do what I do because God has allowed me to do so and has gifted me with the skills I need to get it done. My missionary field is where I work and there I should be winning souls for my Lord. I have no right to treat anyone poorly, but am obligated to treat them with the love and compassion that my Lord has treated me with. I’ve been treated so wonderfully and been given so much it should show through my work.

Prayer: My Lord I’m sorry for being so arrogant and prideful with what you have given me. Help me use what you have given me for your glory. That I would humble myself and work to impress you, my Lord, my savior and my boss.
