Oops — Monday #8

 Don’t just do the minimum that will get you by.

Do your best.

Work from the heart for your real Boss, for God,

confident that you’ll get paid in full when you come into your inheritance.

Keep in mind always that the ultimate Boss you’re serving is Christ.

The sullen servant who does shoddy work will be held responsible.

Being a follower of Jesus doesn’t cover up bad work.

— Colossians 3:22,23

“I didn’t study for the test, but God will help me.”

“I didn’t practice this solo. In fact, my trombone’s dusty. But God will help me.”

“Nobody’ll ever know.”

“Just this once.”

“Don’t tell.”

But then, coming in like a wrecking ball, is this: Being a follower of Jesus doesn’t cover up bad work.

“Oops” won’t work.

You and I have to work, and we have to do our best work.
