Employment

Among the people of the infant church, like it or not, some of them were slaves. They were the property of another. Yet even in that state of subservience, JESUS had set them free in Spirit, even while they remained slaves. And He gave them instructions. Here is one such instruction.

22 Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything, not only to please them while they are watching, but with sincerity of heart and fear of the Lord. 23 Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, for the Lord and not for men, 24 because you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as your reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. 25 Whoever does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism. Colossians 3 source

Perhaps today you are not owned by another and JESUS has indeed set you free in Spirit. Perhaps today you are employed; you are an employee and you work for a wage. Here is His instruction to us. We may substitute the word slaves, for employees.

22 Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything, not only to please them while they are watching, but with sincerity of heart and fear of the Lord. 23 Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, for the Lord and not for men, 24 because you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as your reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. 25 Whoever does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism. Colossians 3 source

Enjoy your day at work. In HIM you can.

Until next time, holy hugs, Kathie
