Who’s The Boss?
The life of an athlete requires answering to a lot of people: coaches, media, sponsors, and the public. So does yours, no matter what career you’re in. There are clients and customers to serve, supervisors and upper management to please, shareholders and contributors to coddle-lots of people to cater to.
Game Plan for Life, however, introduces us to this simplifying concept: “the audience of One.” The One, of course, is God. And His demand of you is your absolute best, your utmost integrity. He calls you to apply His commands in all your decisions and interactions.
In a perfect world, this kind of excellence would always be recognized and amply compensated. It would earn you the highest respect from your colleagues and coworkers. It would anchor your job security and even promise you steady promotion through the ranks. But even when it doesn’t-even when it seems like no one is noticing-there is no satisfaction like knowing that God can say of you, “Well done, good and faithful servant” (Matthew 25:21).
The next time you start to feel unappreciated, undervalued, and overlooked, take your feelings of inferiority to the Lord in prayer. Let Him be the One with the last word on how valuable you are. When you’re pleasing Him, you’re doing your job.
Pray this prayer: Father, I pray that the only measure of my worth at work will be whether or not I’m honoring you with my very best. When I do things your way, may I be one happy, contented man.
one thing I have learned over the years, any time you depend on anybody but the Heavenly Father, you will be dissapointed at one time or another
