Colossians 3:22-4:1

The Message (MSG)

^22-25 Servants, do what you’re told by your earthly masters. And don’t just do the minimum that will get you by. Do your best. Work from the heart for your real Master, for God, confident that you’ll get paid in full when you come into your inheritance. Keep in mind always that the ultimate Master you’re serving is Christ. The sullen servant who does shoddy work will be held responsible. Being a follower of Jesus doesn’t cover up bad work.

4 And masters, treat your servants considerately. Be fair with them. Don’t forget for a minute that you, too, serve a Master—God in heaven.

Ephesians 5: 11-16

^11-16 Don’t waste your time on useless work, mere busywork, the barren pursuits of darkness. Expose these things for the sham they are. It’s a scandal when people waste their lives on things they must do in the darkness where no one will see. Rip the cover off those frauds and see how attractive they look in the light of Christ. Wake up from your sleep, Climb out of your coffins; Christ will show you the light!

Yesterday I wrote a blog post on Lindsay Lohan's cocaine use. Useless work, mere busywork. On Tuesday I learned that my editor's budget has been cut. Now she'll be assigning me two posts on Weds and Fridays instead of three. I was slightly upset. Money, money, money. But in light of this passage, it seems to be for the best. I need to begin to use my skills on something beyond busy work.

Lord, show me what that is!!!!

Colossians 3:1-2

The Message (MSG)

He Is Your Life

Pursue the things over which Christ presides. Don’t shuffle along, eyes to the ground, absorbed with the things right in front of you. Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ—that’s where the action is. See things from his perspective.

How can I apply this to...
