Day 5 [05.02.2021] The Peace of God about your Work.
.. Be honest and work hard, so you will have something to give to people in need. [Ephesians 4:28].
God is interested in our work. Since creation, God gave man the responsibility to take care of this earth; ... to be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it ... (Genesis 1:28). The summary of all that is work.
In Matthew 25:14-30, Jesus spoke about the parable of talents. Our work is a talent that we must take very good care of. In and around our work are clients/customers, employees/employer, colleagues, etc. It is our responsibility to ensure peace at our work. We must be ready to start this peace process. This means that irrespective of how people treat you, you must be sure to respond the right way.
Try your best to bring improvement to your work. And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Colossians 3:23. Don't work anyhow because you think you're not paid well, etc. Allow the peace of God to guide your heart and mind in your work. Jacob was cheated for his wages over 14 years but he exhibited patience, tolerance and trust in God and in due time, he got a divine idea that changed his life. Genesis 30:25-31:55
Your motivation to work should not be centred on earning a living for yourself only. God gave you that work to be able to support others in need (from immediate family to total strangers). Just like Jacob, God will cause you to get abundance (enough for yourself and others who need your support.
Your dedication to work will not be a waste of time. Be diligent, patient and trust God so that you will not be frustrated. In due time, you will receive your promotion.
