For anyone who has a boss who is difficult or unreasonable or just plain horrible or on days when you have to do something you don't like doing, I thought it would be helpful to remember these verses because they're for all of us.
Paul wrote them at a time when slaves were common and not always well treated so he needed to remind them that if they worked as though they were doing it for Jesus Himself, then it would help their attitude and they could do it with a glad heart instead of a resentful one.
The Lord knows we all like to be rewarded and that's normal, so He wants you to know that even if people don't appreciate you and no one else recognises your efforts or gives you credit for a job well done, God knows, and He has laid up an inheritance for you as a reward. God is the One who really matters and He has noticed! 😊
As we start this new week maybe you have to fill in forms or send in another report, maybe clean your house or make another meal for the family, but whatever it is we have to do, let's do it for the Master, the Lord Jesus Himself, the One who bled and died for us because He loves us, and it will help us do things out of a heart of gratitude to Him, knowing He has laid up something wonderful for us as a reward.
Have a blessed week.😊
