If anyone had told me I could be on time for work, I would’ve laughed. Yet, when I changed my mindset and accepted responsibility for the PRIVILEGE (not a right, especially not in this economy) of having a job and being given stewardship by God of that job, it took on a new meaning. It wasn’t just about “being on time,” it became a matter of showing true gratitude to God for His goodness and mercy, and wanting to set an example that would cause others to take notice, evidence of my special relationship with Christ and my desire to please Him.
If you’re the kind of person whose attitude says “it doesn’t start until I arrive,” reconsider your position. I used to think, “As long as I make up the time, it’s okay.” However, what a strength to my testimony when people see that I’m where I’m supposed to be when I’m supposed to be there, in place and ready to serve. Try it – you may find some unexpected blessings are waiting for YOU!
“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:”
(Ecclesiastes 3:1)
