…submit yourselves to your masters, not only
to those who are good and considerate, but
also to those who are harsh.
The Crossroads 4
Make Bad Work Better
Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than
for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the
inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve.
Colossians 3:23-24 NASB
work, you might be contributing to the problem without even realizing it. If you
are doing less than your best, you are short-changing yourself, your employer
and God. If you have a bad attitude about your work, boss, coworkers or any
other aspect of work, your attitude will hurt your performance and relationships.
Ask yourself – are you working heartily as for the Lord?
You might be thinking “Yeah, but you do not know my boss!” You are right, but
consider this thought about bosses both good and bad…
1 Peter 2:18 NASB
If “harsh” describes your boss, it is especially important to take your attitude,
motivation and performance to their most positive highest. You may be ready
to belt, bolt or blow off your boss, but hang in there. You may not know the
pressure your boss is under either at work or home. For your own good – now
and in the future – take a deep breath, put on a bigger smile and help your
boss succeed.
