DAILY DEVOTION: Working for The King

When you get up to go to work or school, do you understand that you have been commissioned by God and therefore He is expecting higher standards from you?

You may think, ‘I am not a Pastor or a church worker, I am just a Christian, doing mundane work’. I don’t need to give any special quality as I work for the ‘world's system’. Oh but that's where you are wrong. My children represent me wherever they go and whatever they do, how much more I represent my Heavenly Father in ALL my undertakings. I dare not think that I can: be shoddy in my work attitude; a hog on the road; skipping the line at the bank; rushing to get that last seat on the bus before that old lady who I think didn't have as rough a day as I did - without realizing that each of these activities will cause the devil to laugh in God's face. Nothing preaches Christ like kindness and decency even when the recipients don’t know that I am a Christian.

As we work for the King today, let's be to others as if we were in their position, we would wish that someone would do for us. This glorifies God.

Col. 3:23-24: And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not unto men;
Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. See also Matt.7:12 & 1; Cor.10:31

Shalom!
