Reading: 1 Timothy 6, 2 Samuel 8-9, 1 Chronicles 18, and Psalm 60
Scripture: 1 Timothy 6:1 Let all who are under a yoke as bondservants regard their own masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teaching may not be reviled.
Observation: Today having bondservants is not as common as it was back in the days of the Bible, but today we have different masters. Our masters are now our bosses and the owners of the companies that we work for. There are not many here in the USA that work for themselves most of us work for others to make a wage to get what we need.
Application: I remember reading many passages about slaves and bondservants, and though theses don’t apply to me these why are they even in the Bible. We are all under a yoke we have to work to pay our bills, so this passage is saying treat your bosses, your managers, and your supervisors with respect and honor and by so doing you will be a light and bring the Gospel with you each day at work.
Prayer: Father I thank you for the work you have given us and the opportunity it gives us to shine your light and love into a place that may not be seeing it. I thank you for your provisions and the blessings that your pour out on us. One our eyes to the opportunity to shine and love as you would in that situation.
