My Bible Verse of The Day - 5-29-25
Colossians 3:23-24 (NKJV) 23 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
Remembering for Whom, and why we do what we do will make it easy on us through this life.
Let’s be honest. If we did things just for the person we work for, would we really give it our all, all the time? Would we not slack off at times when we are tired or they may not be watching?
I remember working for a company years ago. My desk was right next to my boss’s desk.
He would sometimes leave for many days, and if I was the kind of person that would only work hard when he was watching, having him gone so often could have made it really easy for me to be a good slacker while he was gone.
But I was a Christian, and he knew it. What kind of example would I have been showing or setting if I worked hard only when he was there?
When you are working as unto the Lord, whether your boss is around or not should make no difference. You work hard. You do your best, and you do it as if you are doing unto the Lord.
It’s not really about who is watching at that point. It’s about what our Father in heaven is seeing us do.
I remember very clearly, this same boss had me come into his office one day, and he said to me, “I don’t understand or can’t quite figure you out. You amaze me in the work you do!
I loved to hear those words because I knew in my heart it was not me. He was seeing God’s integrity, honesty and dedication working through me.
That is the most awesome compliment, when an unbeliever sees that in us. It’s more then a paycheck from week to week. It’s better than any promotion we can earn. It’s more than any employer or job can offer us.
Work hard. Be honest. Be diligent on that job. God is watching, and He will reward you. Amen.
