What kind of employee are you? Does your manager value and trust you? Some people profess to be followers of Jesus but they leave a trail of disappointed and angry colleagues and bosses in their wake. Some employees do this because they mistakenly assume that their church building is a holy place while their job site is merely a secular venue in which they earn their living. But the reality is that our office is holy ground.
Our calling as Christians is not only to worship God. It is also to honor Him. We honor, or glorify God by the way we live. We can certainly do this as we worship God in church on Sundays. But we also do it by the way we conduct ourselves at work.
Being a child of God does not provide us license to be disrespectful or rebellious to authority. Far from it. Christians ought to understand respect for authority better than anyone. If God places someone in authority over us, we respect them, as God’s instrument in our life. We know we’ll one day give an account to God for how we treated those around us, including our boss. How have you been a blessing to those in leadership over you?
