So, who is Your Boss?
A boss is a person who is in charge and tells others what to do. This doesn’t mean being told what to do is a bad thing. If it’s done in the right way, it gives us guidance and helps us to be better. We all have a variety of bosses in our lives.
The question is which one(s) are you going to obey?
With Labor Day happening last Monday, Pastor Lisa’s message was about doing the right work for the right reason.
Labor Day was started to bring attention to workers who were being taken advantage of. I alluded to this in my previous post.
Like so many things, it was started for a good reason, but along the way many have lost sight of the reason behind it. Too many times now it’s just another holiday to get out of work.
The question is, who are you working for?
This question needs to be asked and answered.
In Colossians 3:22-24, Paul tells the Colossians a new way to live and work.
He tells them to obey their bosses. Try to please them all the time, not just when you think they are watching. He also tells them that when they are working for their bosses with their whole heart, they are also honoring God.
“Work willingly, as though you were serving the Lord himself, and not just your earthly boss. In fact, the Lord Christ is the one you are really working for, and you know he will reward you.”
It is easy to get caught up in the daily routine of our work here on earth.
This is why it’s important to take a day like Labor Day to stop and reflect on what our work is and who we’re working for.
We may think we know what is right, but the Lord is the judge of our motives. Share your plans with the Lord, and you will succeed (Proverbs 16:2-3).
Decide who you’re going to work for. Who’s your boss going to be?
