I just spent time with my friend who was my
co-worker in Banff and also Kelowna at two different work environments. He got talking about how he had not taken a lot
of time off in our time of working together.
That was true, but the other side of that was that he fulfilled these biblical
references as follows. First of all
Colossians 3:22-25 that says, “Slaves or employees, obey your earthly masters
in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to win their
favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord… since you know
that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord
Christ you are serving”. I believe this
says that you can tell a lot about a person's relationship to Christ by their
work ethic. This is something that many
who claim to follow Christ omit. Further
since biblical passages on ‘work” say we are to work as hard whether or not
eyes are on us, Luke 16:10 also applies.
Luke 16:10 says, whoever can be trusted with very little can also be
trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be
dishonest with much. My friend you maybe
did not take a lot of time off but I saw your character and your work ethic no
matter if eyes were on you or not and that is in part why to you I would trust
my life. I say that about few…
