With Enthusiasm

Paul here is addressing slaves and their attitude towards the work they are doing. But really, he is addressing us all. We all,have earthly masters that we work for whether is be an employer, a parent, our partner, our children, or even a stranger that we are serving. Whatever we are doing, God does not want it to be drudgery to us. Remember that what we are doing, we are doing for God. He created us. he loves us. He has a plan for our lives. What we are doing today is part of His plan for us. Rejoice in that and work with enthusiasm. Even if your work is monotonous and you think there's got to be something better for you to do - perhaps there is - still remember that you are working for God and to work with enthusiasm because of His lavish love for you. Maybe you're labor img in a position where you've lost a beloved leader - keep working with enthusiasm because you have not lost the love of your heavenly leader. By all means, if you feel God is leading you on to something else, pursue it. With enthusiasm! But as you wait for that to be revealed, continue to work as for God with enthusiasm. Perhaps you're in between jobs, there are still things you should be doing. Do them with enthusiasm. God gave His best for you. Give your best for Him.
