“Make the most of every chance you get. These are desperate times!
Don't live carelessly, unthinkingly. Make sure you understand what the Master wants.” (Ephesians 5:16-17 MSG)
Undercover Boss is a TV reality show in which a member of corporate management pretends to be an entry-level trainee to discover what really happens in the day-to-day business of the company. The boss gets to know a few of the employees personally and experience some of the challenges they face at work. At the end of the each episode, the executive rewards the hardest workers.
What if God shadowed us on any given day? Would He be pleased with the way we live, the choices we make, our thoughts, words, and actions? Are we good stewards of the time, energy, opportunities, finances, health, talents, intelligence, relationships, and social skills that God has placed in our hands? Do we conduct ourselves in a manner that is worthy of His name? Do we support His mission and His values? Do we comply with God’s principles and expectations? Or, do we spend our time living carelessly, unthinkingly, pleasing ourselves and distracting ourselves--frittering away the resources that have been placed in our hands?
Lord, make me constantly aware that I am working for you. Do not let me waste any of Your resources. Help me to make the most of every day. May I please You and honor You in everything I say and do.
