I remember way back when i was “young and dumb” and “bigger’n my britches” and knew i was good at what i was doin…i believe it’s what’s called, “prideful”…and a new “boss” came on the scene and started off by telling us we were gonna haveta start doin this-n-that… which had nothing t’do with the task we were paid to do. I’d heard enough and was young enough to walk out and find another employer, so i told him flat out, “ That ain’t my job. That’s not what I was hired to do.” And i left. As a general rule, the employee works FOR the employer. As long as it’s legal and morally right, an employer can make an employee do whatever they want. If they are paying an honest wage, they get to call the shots…and if you wanna keep gettin paid, you just roll withit and do whatever it is you’re asked to do. I couldn’t help but think back on this young “me” when i fell upon ( 2 Chronicles 26:16 ) …” But after Uzziah became powerful, his pride led to his downfall. He was unfaithful to the Lord his God, and entered the temple of the LORD to burn incense on the altar of incense.” That ain’t yo job Uzziah ! Incense burning was the chosen priest’s job…consecrated for the job under God’s direction. Uzziah’s motives got misplaced due to his prideful heart. He’d done got too big for his britches and he was about t’ be schooled. The LORD struck him with leprosy…which he carried all the way till his death. King or janitor, goin against God and His mandates, rules, commands, precepts or proclamations will ultimately lead to our downfall. You wanna get in hot water with your Creator, get cocky and prideful and go outside His boundaries. He ain’t playin our games … He’s expecting more from those that carry His name. And yeah, Christian…some jobs in the “church” ain’t yo job ! You may volunteer for everything but that doesn’t mean you have control over everything … God has the say-so when it comes to placing workers where He desires em to be. It AINT YER CHURCH … it’s HIS ! The same Holy Spirit that calls one person to a task is the same Holy Spirit talkin to you. So stop thinkin you’ve got something somebody else dont have ! Some of us need to step up to the plate and quit backin out the box ! Insteada sayin / thinkin, “ That aint my job”…we need t’ be sayin, “ Hear i am, I’ll do it.” It takes 100 % cooperation to achieve 100 % success… if we’d all do SOMETHING ! Glorifying GOD ain’t rocket science … living out our calling is simple. It ain’t always fun or easy…it’s work. But it’s worth it ! God’ll let you know what your job is…if you really wanna be used by Him. Whether in word or deed, work at it with all your heart, and do it as if you’re working for the Lord, and not just man. ( Colossians 3:23 )
