01 October Christians in the Marketplace EPHESIANS 6:5 Because the Lord loves us and wants the very best for us, He has given us His Word, which speaks to all aspects of life. One area He deals with in detail is relationships, and He gives clear instruction to those involving employees and employers. God says that certain attitudes and actions ought to be true of believers as employees. These passages were written to a society that allowed slavery, but what was true for Roman slaves remains true for us today. Employees are to obey their employers with sincere obedience. (Colossians 3:22) We are not simply to appear submissive; rather, we are actually to honor workplace superiors by our obedience. We are released from this command only if our employer requires us to do something that is in violation of a scriptural principle. (Acts 5:29) So the next time you are tempted to speak badly of your boss or complain to a coworker, be aware that would violate the Word of God. We must submit to managers who are not gentle, who are unreasonable, and who put more tasks on us than we think is right. Why? Because God favors those who bear up under sorrow and suffer unjustly. (1 Peter 2:19) In addition, our response on the job broadcasts a message about the kingdom of God. By our right conduct, we are defending the principles of truth. The Lord has placed you in this position—even if it is a difficult one—and wants you to reach your supervisor and fellow employees with an accurate reflection of godly living. What will they see in you? URL:http://www.intouch.org/myintouch/devotional/index_76096.html

Prayers are going up as I write. Praise to the One who is mighty and strong, quick to defend His children.

Update on Mike: He is back home tonight. The trip to the hospital was because his blood work indicated that there was something not right. Yesterday they did a kidney biopsy, the main thing they were checking was to see if he was rejecting the kidney. Praise God, there was no sign of rejection. It seems the problem/change in the blood work was due to him being dehydrated. They kept him in the hospital overnight to keep a check on his red blood count, as it had dropped. Through the night it remained stable, so he was discharged from the hospital this afternoon. Thanks everyone for the prayers. God Bless, Jane
