“Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves”

Recently, the leaders were discussing about the issues that working adults face at work and how they can be an influence in the market place. We hit the topic of “confidence” saying that without confidence in the work place, working adults face emotional stress, so much until they are not able to handle it. These can be from their supervisors, their colleagues and their subordinates. Not having the self-esteem on their part makes them face constant pressure that pushes them to frustration. When they come home from work, all they wish to do is chill and relax. In the end, they are fully focus on themselves and they start to neglect the other aspects of life such as house chores, family, church, God. They become selfish and do things to please themselves without a second thought about the people around them. This is the reality of a working adult’s life.

God says in His word here to “be devoted to one another” and to “honor one another above yourselves”. It takes God to be in the center of it all to do this. When we acknowledge that God is still in control of our lives, we unload our burden and load it unto our Lord Jesus Christ who is willing to lift your burden for you. When God is in the Center of your life, you will then have the confidence in your workplace to love another and honor them above yourselves. And when you come home, you will not only focus on yourself for it is selfish to do so.

God, I pray you will build in me the confidence I need to be the head and not the tail in my workplace. Help me to believe that You are always with me and You are always in control. Almighty God, thank you for being faithful. Amen.
