Colossians 3:23 ERV “In all the work you are given, do the best you can. Work as though you are working for the Lord, not any earthly master.”
If you’re working, it’s possible that you feel that you have not been well rewarded for your hardwork; sometimes, other people are given credit for what you laboured for; sometimes, what you have done isn’t recognized, and because you’re not interested in the politics at work they tend to ignore and forget about you.
All that could be frustrating, but you must decide never to lose your joy. With regards to work, I’m inspired by the story of Jacob in the employ of Laban. Ten times his wages was changed, in other words, Laban never paid what was agreed, he cheated him, just as some employers do, always looking for stupid reasons to deduct money from the salaries of their workers. You employers had better be just else God will judge you! And you bosses managing another man’s business, do only what’s right, else it will not be well with you! Well, despite all that Laban did to him, Jacob worked hard and remained faithful.
I have realized that the best way to work is to work as unto the Lord and to trust Him to fight for me. I don’t look up to any man to reward me; I have learned that God can reward me with or without my job! I don’t feel cheated at all when men play their games, for I have made God alone responsible for my life, and I know that His hand is not limited by my job, He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that my job can ever offer! Hallelujah! Work as unto the Lord, He is faithful and just.
