My little addition to Our Daily Bread (10/21/11):
Since I am confident of your obedience, I am writing to you, knowing that you will do even more than I say.
(Philemon 21 HCSB)
Reading these words from Paul to Philemon reminded me of this co-worker’s confidence in me to not only do my assigned task, but do it with excellence. I got a compliment last night from a coworker who, though she’s worked at the store less than a year in comparison to my nearly three years, was working in the position that oversees customer service staff and has to assign cleaning tasks. She stated that I am one of very few who she can trust will do the task assigned with excellence without question and without repeated reminders. I am not really vocal about my faith “on the clock,” but it is nice to know that my choosing to let my light shine is noticed. I am certain I will have opportunity to explain the reason I’m so different (1 Peter 3:14-15).
Do everything without grumbling and arguing, so that you may be blameless and pure, children of God who are faultless in a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine like stars in the world.
(Philippians 2:14-15 HCSB)
