Purpose Driven Work Part II
As believers, God expects us to be obedient to our earthly masters in our places of work/business in order to use that as an avenue to showcase the life of Christ we have to the world around us. Our scriptural focus for today states – Servants, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not only when their eyes are on you as pleasers of men, but in simplicity of purpose [with all your heart] because of your reverence for the Lord and as a sincere expression of your devotion to Him. {Col 3:22 Amp}
Obedience is doing what you are asked to do by your superior at the right time. The kind of obedience God expects us as His children to exhibit in our places of work or business environment isn’t the worldly definition of obedience called – Eye service.
Eye service is simply obeying the instructions of your superior because he/she is present but you will not do same in their absence.
When your obedience can only be described as eye service, then it should equally be clear to you that you’re not a God pleaser, rather you’re a pleaser of men. Eye service is fueled by the desire to be rewarded unduly by the superior, and when this is your attitude to work you definitely can not be purpose driven while on that job.
Be a God pleaser and not a man pleaser
Have a grace filled day – Good news awaits you.
