Respect In The Workplace

I Timothy 6:1-2

READ – “All slaves should show full respect for their masters so they will not bring shame on the name of God and His teaching.” — I Timothy 6:1 NLT

EXAMINE – The institute of slavery was the way of life in Apostle Paul’s day. Paul stated that the believers who were slaves should show “full respect” for their masters to bring glory to God. Believing slaves should especially respect and work even harder when they have a believing master not only for the glory of God but for the good of other believers.

APPLY – Today’s reading can best be understood and applied in the workplace environment between bosses and workers. Believers should be model employees giving respect to their bosses and especially bosses who are saved. The workplace is a ministry field and being respectful and working hard are the best ways to bring glory to God and to move the company from good to great. What will you do today to show respect in your workplace?

PRAY – Father God, I’m thankful for the job You blessed me to work. In a time when there is so much hostility in the workplace, help me to be respectful to all and to seek peace between all. In Jesus’ Name, Amen!
