Will You Do What You're Told?

The Parable of the Two Sons

"What do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first and said, 'Son, go and work today in the vineyard.' " 'I will not,' he answered, but later he changed his mind and went. "Then the father went to the other son and said the same thing. He answered, 'I will, sir,' but he did not go. "Which of the two did what his father wanted?" "The first," they answered. Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you. For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent and believe him. Matthew 21: 28-32 NIV

Consider each day how you will spend your time at work. Are you like the son who tells his father no, but then later does what he is told? Or are you like the son that just tells his father what he thinks he wants to hear, but has no intention of doing what he is told? Good character and a high-quality work ethic are developed through discipline as we understand that we are working as though it is for God. What we do when no one is around, shows us how we really are on the inside. As Christians, we are to work as though the boss is watching. And we know that God always sees what we�re doing. -BWR
