Who is in charge of you? Who do you work for?Today's scripture:
Whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
Colossians 3:23-24
AIDS barely had a name before Dr. Daniel began working with patients stricken by the dread disease. Over the years as a university hospital doctor and a specialist in infectious diseases, he has spent many hours by the bedsides of people dying of diseases like AIDS. At times Dr.Dan's patients have told him stories of bad situations they've faced and of the rejection they've received from people who they thought loved the. Dr. Dan listens, prescribes medicine, and encourages their souls.
It Isn't only the AIDS patients who appreciate Dr.Dan's care. From the sick people he encounters and the students he teaches to the foreign interns working in his office and friends, everyone feels a physical or spiritual healing touch when Dr.Dan is around. Not surprisingly, Dr.Dan is starting to become a nationally know specialist for his work. Ask Dr.Dan why he works so hard and invests himself in other people's lives so freely, and he'll tell you,
"It's the job God has for me. It's the way he uses me. Since God is my boss, I do my best."
Maybe your job isn't that of physician, saving lives and helping ailing people. Maybe you work with a room full of rowdy elementary students. If you consider God as your real boss, you can make a difference where you are. Maybe you work all day filing records or like me pushing paper and moving mountains of data. If God is your true boss and your filing records the best you can, you will get your reward that matters the most.
Selah people' and friends if you do your best and realize that you work for God, you'' find joy and satisfaction in your job whatever it is, and God will reward you.
"You and I work for the man upstairs as they say...Our God is great and nothing can be done except through Him. Join me in remembering that whatever the task at hand is it can only be accomplished by God's grace."
