Who's the Boss?

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart,

as working for the Lord, not for men,

Colossians 3:23

Many workplaces are enveloped in mediocrity.

Too many people do as little as they can to get by.

They are always looking for the easy way out.

If the boss isn't watching, they are playing on the computer.

They simply go to work to pick up a paycheck,

and then wonder why they are not promoted

and do not see any increase.

The reason is simple:

God does not bless mediocrity.

He blesses excellence.

Whatever we do,

we should do it to the best of our ability.

As believers in Jesus Christ,

we should set the standard.

Remember, we are ultimately working for the Lord.

He's the one who gave us our talents and abilities.

We are stewards of the gifts He has given.

Other people may show up late to work.

They may complain about everything.

They may cut corners and do as little as possible.

Don't sink down to their level--you are working for Almighty God.

You have been called to excellence.

Give today your best effort.

Whether you are a waitress, a truck driver,

an architect, a police officer, or a CEO,

do it to the best of your ability.

God is the one who brings promotion.

When you set the standard,

He will raise you up and pour out His blessing

in every area of your life!

Have a blessed & powerful day!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY:

Heavenly Father, today I choose to set the standard.

I recognize that the work I do is for You.

Keep me close to You by the power of the Holy Spirit

and help me to rise up higher in every area of my life.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
