Do you pay heed to your boss at work?

Scripture: And when He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.” And Simon answered and said, “Master, we worked hard all night and caught nothing, but at Your bidding I will let down the nets” (Luke 5:4-5).

Today’s Thought: Our earthly bosses may not always be correct, and we may think that we know better, but they have been granted authority over us at work, and we must respond to their guidance.

Notice how Simon Peter answers Jesus. He first explains his view of the situation, but then he willingly submits to Christ’s direction. If we’re wise, we will follow Peter’s example. If you have a disagreement with your boss, discuss your perspective calmly and respectfully. Then, if your boss insists on a particular course of action, you must proceed accordingly.

In business, knowledge and experience spells success. That’s why effective bosses will be right most of the time. Don’t forget, when Simon Peter heeded Christ’s advise and lowered the nets, the catch was great!

He who tends the fig tree will eat its fruit; and he who cares for his master will be honored (Proverbs 27:18).

Our earthly bosses have been granted authority over us at work, and we must respond to their guidance.
