Slaves must obey their masters
and do their best to please them.
They must not talk back or steal,
but they must show themselves
to be entirely trustworthy and good.
Then they will make the teaching about
God our Savior attractive in every way.
If you stop and think about it, we labor away on things nearly every single day. We are like just like slaves, except our goal is to try and make ends meet. Sooner or later, however, we come to realize that the reason we exist as Christians is to fulfill our purpose given to us by God. We’re not just here to work for our survival, livelihood or to make ends meet – we’re alive so that we can testify about the good news of God’s salvation. Jesus said in Matthew 6:33-34, “And he will give you all you need from day to day if you live for him and make the Kingdom of God your primary concern. So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today.” Try your best to please God in your home, work place or school, and you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the blessings He is going to bestow upon your life.
