So Joshua did as Moses had said to him.Exodus 17:10
Joshua served Moses, but looked only to God, for his reward. Your boss may sign your cheque, but he doesn’t determine your future; the Lord does that! If you really believe that, no job God gives you will ever be beneath you!
When you pray, “God use me,” He’ll ask you to serve someone else. If you make the mistake of looking to that person for your reward and it doesn’t come, you’ll feel used and resentful.
It’s God who sets the rules for you. He’s the one who requires you to honour Him on the job by performing with submission and excellence. He’s the one who calls you to the highest standards of behaviour. He’s the one who says it’s not okay to use the company phone to call your grandma in Scotland, and pretend she’s a client; or take 90 minutes for lunch, and say you were gone for only 30!
Listen, “Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord” (Ephesians 6:8). God balances the scales and rewards us according to our service; not what others think we’re worth. Stop striving and get back to serving! Listen, “God is not unjust; He will not forget your work” (Hebrews 6:10 NIV). Be encouraged; God records and God rewards – that should be enough for you!
