Strive to Please
September 17, 2024
Urge slaves to obey their masters and to try their best to satisfy them. They must not talk back, nor steal, but must show themselves to be entirely trustworthy. In this way they will make people want to believe in our Savior and God.
Titus 2:9-10, TLB
Recommended Reading: Titus 2:6-10
A young man told his mentor, “My parents thought I would go into the ministry, but I’m working in a mobile phone store.” His mentor said, “You are in the ministry. The phone company may not realize this, but they’re paying you to be a chaplain in that shop. You’ll be able to serve Christ there. Consider yourself in the ministry of caring for mobile phone users and fellow employees. That’s a pretty large congregation!”
You may not be exactly where you want to be. Just over sixty percent of American workers are satisfied with their jobs, which means about forty percent are not. But in either case, Christians in the marketplace must remember their ministry is wherever they are.
God doesn’t reward us for just showing up and punching the clock each day. He wants us to work at our jobs with all our hearts, always being ready to share a word from Him to everyone who asks us a reason for the hope within us.
God always equips us for the work for which He calls us.
