“I know that nothing is better for them than to rejoice, and to do good in their lives, and also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor—it is the gift of God.” ~ Ecclesiastes 3:13 (NKJV).
Way
to often I come across people who are very unhappy with the jobs God has given
them. Listening to their workplace stories it is hard not to side with them as
yes, they are being greatly oppressed. I feel their pain as I often am in the same boat as they are.
We must focus on the LORD and do our best gratefully doing what the LORD
has given us to do. If we are working to earn the almighty dollar, or working
to please a boss, we have missed the point of being on earth and will never be
happy.
The sooner we live for the Holy King of Heaven and His kingdom the better
it will be for us. It is He that you are really working for and not the person
who signs your paycheck.
We must do the best we can at work and respect the people in authority that
God has put us under. Work is your mission field as you visit here in the fallen world. Bloom where you are planted.
We are told in Ephesians 6:5-8, “Bondservants, be obedient to
those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in
sincerity of heart, as to Christ; not with eye service,
as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the
heart, with goodwill doing service, as to the
Lord, and not to men, knowing that whatever good
anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a
slave or free.” ~ (NKJV).
Some days when we take our eyes off of King JESUS it may seem like we are
working in the pits of hell. Know that those days number nothing compared to
the many more days ahead in eternity. Yes, we will be living with the king of
glory in our home in heaven soon.
Thank you Holy Spirit. I needed to hear that today!
