Colossians 3:22-25

“Servants, obey in all things…not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:

      And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily as to the Lord, and not unto men;

      Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of thie inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

     But he that doeth wrong which he hath done: there is no respect of persons.”

    I don’t know about you, but I am tempted many times to do something so I would look good in the human eye, but forget about God’s eye. This passage reminds us that we are to do ALL things as to the Lord, I don’t think HE could make it any plainer than that. We just need to put it in practice.

    So, what talent has God given you? Singing? Playing an instrument? Encouraging someone…?! Are you using it “in singleness of heart, fearing God” ? Or “as men pleasers” ?

    Look closely at verses 24 and 25…If you use what God has given you, right, as to the Lord, you will receive a reward! But if you use it wrong, as menpleasers, you will receive what you deserve for that wrong. Ask God that as you use His talents, you’ll use them for His glory, not yours!!
