Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ.
-Colossians 3:23-24
This is an instructional for "slaves." Now I'm pretty sure we don't have that going on in America anymore... But God's Word is timeless. It is forever true. And this is not just to the type of "slaves" we knew of; this is to those of us who work for other people. Even the head honcho at your workplace has a boss... somewhere, they do. So this is laid out pretty plainly for us. We need to live with the supernatural in mind at all times.
Now read the beginning of that passage:
Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything you do. Try to please them all the time, not just when they are watching you. [God is always watching, isn't He? And someone on earth is always watching you too... somewhere, they are.] Serve them sincerely [honestly and truthfully intend to serve them] because of your reverent fear of the Lord.
Vs. 22-23
Now. Reverence. Do we have it? In this day and age, it's not so common. We haven't been taught it. Or if we have, we have forgotten it, and are letting it slip through our communal fingers. Not only do we not have it for others, but we often don't for our Father either.
As an encouragement in closing, read Colossians 4:1-6.
Have a great night, folks. I know you guys who went to see Jeremy Camp had a great time!!!
Sleep well, sweet dreams, and all the fluffy good stuff, Tara K
