"Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were WORKING FOR THE LORD, rather than for people."
Who do you work for? Most people have a boss. Even those who are independent still are working for their clients and those who pay for their services. There will always be someone who is over you and to whom you are beholding. The smartest business owners know that the customer is their real boss. The customer is the one who pays for your services and in the end your pay check. In short we all work for someone and the question for today is WHO IS YOUR BOSS?
Our One Truth Today has the correct and real answer to the question; who is your boss? In reality we are WORKING FOR THE LORD! That is why you should work at whatever you do willingly. You are not working for people, you are working for the Lord. That is why even slaves were admonished to be good slaves and good workers, by the bible. Keep in mind that this is all temporary servitude on earth. We are here for a moment and then eternally in heaven. That is the attitude that will make you so much different than the non believer. You can suffer through any momentary situation because the promise of what is to come is real and only a short time away. The Lord will pay your wages and in the end you will be rewarded beyond comprehension. You can be happy even in the worst of circumstances knowing who your boss really is!
No matter what you do for a living, or what your task is at any time, put your whole heart and soul into it and do it willingly, without complaining. Do your job as though you are doing it for the Lord, and not for any man. You will receive your inheritance from the Lord, not from any man. Your real reward is not in the moment, but in the eternal kingdom of God. You may receive some compensation here on earth for your efforts but you can not take it with you when you pass on. It is clear that we are actually serving our master Jesus Christ the Lord God, and not anyone else. WHO IS YOUR BOSS? Jesus Christ is our boss and our Lord and our Saviour!
