Working for the Man

Colossians 3:23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters. My pastor, Craig Higgins, likes to quote blue grass and folk singers in addition to great Scottish theologians - yes plural. One quote he uses numerous times is from Bob Dylan in his Christian enlightened period. 'You have to serve somebody.'

We are all called to serve somebody on earth. If you are like the typical North American worker, you will change jobs at least 6 times before you retire. Therefore, you have had to develop relationships with numerous managers and colleagues. During these adjustment periods, how is one to experience joy and peace while performing on an excellent level? If you have your own business or head a department, who do you serve? Who helps you dictate priorities? when we wake up, it would be good to remember Colossians 3:23. Peace.
