Reflections on work

 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,  since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. ~Colossians 3:23-24

Its's Friday and its been a long week.  I woke up tired and disjointed because I was going to be alone in my office today.  I figured the clock would move like a snail.  My supervisors would not be on site the entire day.  Temptation popping up everywhere.   "Go ahead a phone this day in."  "Its just gonna be you and silence."  I had a choice to make.

It would be easy for me to waste the day away day dreaming, but God commands us to work at whatever we are doing with all our heart.  We are to work as if we are working for Him, especially when the human eye is not on us to watch every move.  

So today has been an opportunity to work with fidelity and integrity.  It is an opportunity to do the right thing because its the right thing.  Its an opportunity to show God how grateful I am to have this job and to be in this position because there are so many who are hurting right now.  So many people hours have been cut or they have been displaced by the Covid-19 Pandemic.

Yet, God has saw fit to keep me employed.  The least I can do is to do the job he gave me to because ultimately He is the boss.  He sees what others cannot.  He sees my motives and my heart.  So I have spent this  Friday working on projects and doing it as unto the Lord.  No pats on the back, just a Hallelujah shout to the God who made it happen and the time fly by.
