Obey Always

Men can be difficult at times. We always try to be who we want to be, not always pleasing to others behind the scenes. Let me add to this… Men disobey orders, rules and commands which they should not. This is mostly employed men, who work for bosses or have supervisors who manage them, but business owners fit in here as well. When you are surrounded by others, including your seniors in the company, you “perform” as if showing off. But when you are alone, you drop the false pretence and mope about your work, maybe the conditions, maybe the salary you are earning which does not satisfy you, and so on…

As Christian men and believers we should obey at all times. We should perform greatly at all times, even when alone. Business owners, you too have someone whom you should obey and perform greatly at all times. God is watching us all. I used to be like this, especially when I was still employed years ago and, after becoming my own boss, I still did it. Then I realized God was watching me. Was I pleasing Him? Was I glorifying Him each moment of each day? No, I was not! Once again, the book of Colossians, again chapter 3 offered me something to meditate upon.

Colossians 3:22 says the following; “Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to win their favour, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord.” This verse bowled me over. I was still a slave in this world. Yes, I was a “slave” to my God and He was watching my every move. I repented and asked God to change me and change my attitude. My new life started from that day onwards. I made sure that He was glorified in everything I did. Where are you right now? Does this look familiar to you as well? Then turn to God and repent. Pray and ask that He starts changing you from this day forward. Today I walk with music in my step and a smile on my face, always knowing that god is by my side. Enjoy!
