Colossians 4:1

MASTERS

Colossians 4:1. "Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven."

MASTERS. Are there those who labor for you? Those whose work you appreciate? Are the things you ask them to do, Substandard, or are they just right? Be fair in your evaluation Of the work they did accomplish - Considering your expectation, And how the project was finished.

We too are called to labor For a Master who knows no deceit. He knows the amount of fervor

Goes into the work we complete. If I hasten to get His work done I can get on with something of my own - He won't entrust me with another one, I will be left to my labor alone.

If I am a master or servant, I need to always remember: There is a Master who is observant Who projects to me does tender. When I apply my effort and time, May it be to serve Him with all my might. Then when laboring time is over, I'll find We both will be pleased by what is done right.

"Lord God, there is labor to applied to Thy service here that is known to Thee. Thou dost know my limitations and abilities. Help me to know them and use them in Thy service today in a way that will be most effective and most glorifying to Thee. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen."
