Who Are You Working For?
“Whatever
your hand finds to do, do it with all your might.” – Ecclesiastes 9:10.
No matter
whose employ we are in every one of us is working for him or herself. We delude
ourselves if we think otherwise.

When
former astronaut Frank Borman became head of Eastern Airlines, he was
determined to make the service of his company the best in the industry. On one
occasion he noticed an employee sitting with his feet perched on a desk
ignoring the telephone which was ringing relentlessly.
"Aren't
you going to answer the phone," Borman asked.
"This
isn't my department," the employee answered without any hint of concern.
"I work in maintenance."
"Not
anymore you don't," Borman barked.

It's the
person who is faithful in the little things who gets entrusted with bigger and
better responsibilities.
That is
true in both, man's economy and God's. As Christians in the hereafter we won't
be judged for our sins as Christ took that judgment on himself at Calvary. But
we will be rewarded according to our faithfulness in serving the Lord here on
earth.
It pays to
be faithful and dependable in all our responsibilities. As another has said,
"The greatest ability is dependability." Of equal importance is
response-ability!
"Dear
God, help me today and always to be ever ready to serve and glorify You in
everything I am and do. In Jesus name I pray. Amen!"
Blessed Day!
