Service Unto the Lord

"Rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to man, knowing that whatever good anyone does, this he will receive back from the Lord, whether he is a bondservant or is free. "
~ Ephesians 6:7–8

There are many times that we feel injustice at work or with regards to what we do in light of the response or the treatment by our colleagues at work. This passage reminds me to focus my perspective on the fact that I'm first and foremost God's servant, God's own sent worker into the field he places me in. This has great bearing on how we function and gets the strength for the daily grind. It certainly shifts our predicament to the One ultimately in supreme control and administers His grace in various forms.

We know we can rest in peace and assurance of the Wise and Loving God who cares for us even at work, for it is Him who calls and provisions for our calling.

Look to Him and rest in His sovereign love.
