Work willingly whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord, rather than for people. –Colossians 3:23 (NLT)
WORK WILLINGLY
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you do things for others or you’re at work
Remember that you are doing it for the Lord
If you do it for Jesus, you will be reverent
If you do it for other reasons, you will act different.
Work hard willingly; be diligent and patient
God made you in his image; he is perfect and excellent
Imitate Christ when you work so you can be efficient
He wouldn’t want you to be mediocre or deficient.
________________________________________
There are many mediocre and inefficient people in our world. The lamest thing we can do is to whine about our bosses or the company and not perform the job excellently as we are expected to do. Another sad thing to watch is when people only count the time so they can clock out and come in late for work. This is mediocrity at its best.
If you were the employer or company owner and all you see and hear from your employees are complaints but never get the work done, you probably would fire these toxic people.
The bible puts so much premium on integrity and hates dishonesty. Paul said to the Colossians to work willingly whatever we are doing as though we are working for the Lord, rather than for people.
PRAYER
Lord, help me to never complain but be pro-active.
REFLECTION
Why is it important to think that you work for God rather than for people?
