What is the best job in the world? A lawyer? A businessman? A doctor? A singer? An actor? An NBA superstar? A prime minister? Or a pastor? Well, let me tell you something, I don't think the Bible tells me the answer. But the Bible does tell me that the best thing about our jobs is that ultimately we can serve Jesus. It's so exciting when you come to Colossians chapter 3 and verses 22 to 25, where Jesus is our master. God is our master. Paul says, "Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged. Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God; And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men". It's amazing because the Bible tells me I am serving God in my job. Whether I am a sweeper, a serviceman, a salesman or an insurance agent, I know today I can serve God in my occupation. Verse 24, "Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the rewar! d of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ." Hey, I hope this transform the way you go about your work on Monday morning because you're not just serving your boss or a company; God is saying you're serving Jesus Christ. See beyond just the materials physical things you do and realize you serve Jesus Christ. And therefore you can serve from the heart, whether your boss your superior see it or not, the important thing is that Jesus sees it, and we can serve today with a joyful brand new attitude ...
