Who's the Boss?

(and what the "boss" thinks of you!)

The life of an athlete requires answering to a lot of people: coaches, media, sponsors, and the public. So does yours, no matter what career you're in. There are clients and customers to serve, supervisors and upper management to please, shareholders and contributors to coddle-lots of people to cater to.

To a large degree, it is very important that you have a good rapport & reputation with your peers. However, it's even more important to have the approval of the "Big Boss!"

Enjoy this week's message

MATTHEW 25:21

Books Stacked

AMPLIED BIBLE

"His master said to him, Well done, you upright (honorable, admirable) and faithful servant! You have been faithful and trustworthy over a little; I will put you in charge of much. Enter into and share the joy (the delight, the blessedness) which your master enjoys.

KING JAMES VERSION

"His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord."

REFLECTION

Checkered Flag His demand of you is your absolute best, your utmost integrity. He calls you to apply His commands in all your decisions and interactions.

In a perfect world, this kind of excellence would always be recognized and amply compensated. It would earn you the highest respect from your colleagues and coworkers. It would anchor your job security and even promise you steady promotion through the ranks. But even when it doesn't - even when it seems like no one is noticing - there is no satisfaction like knowing that God can say of you, "Well done, good and faithful servant"

The next time you start to feel unappreciated, undervalued, and overlooked, take your feelings of inferiority to the Lord in prayer. Let Him be the One with the last word on how valuable you are. When you're pleasing Him, you're doing your job.
