Day 10: How do I earn and show respect at work?
How does God view my work? What is most important to us about work may not be what is most important to Him. Where we work and how much we make may be the most important things for us in reference to work. God, on the other hand, is concerned about what I do, where I am. Colossians 3:23-24 gives us three truths about how God views my work. The first is that God desires each of us to work with all of our heart. Regardless of the circumstances, God’s standard for all work is excellence. The second is that we should work with God as our boss. Ultimately our work should be done unto the Lord and not for men. Lastly, we should work with the end in mind. Our work on earth has eternal significance and we will be judged by the faithfulness with which we do our jobs on earth. Working in a manner like this will earn and show respect to others.
Read Colossians 3:23-24, 1 Corinthians 10:31, & 1 Thessalonians 5:12-13
