HOW TO BE A GODLY EMPLOYEE

1. TRUST IN GOD ONLY.
Trust in no one but GOD. People will disappoint you.
God created you and has a wonderful plan for your life.

He is too good to do wrong, and too wise to make a mistake.

Let His peace abide in you. (Proverbs 3 :5-6)

2. WORSHIP GOD ONLY.
Don't make your career, your company, or your boss a
god. If you do, you will provoke Him to jealously and will end up

fighting Him. In fact, He may hinder you from achieving what you

want until you are broken of the idolatry. (Exodus 20:5)

3. USE GOD'S NAME REVERENTLY.
Don't swear! Clean words come out of a clean
heart! If your co-workers know that you are a Christian, but they

hear the Lord's Name used in vain, or cursing and swearing from

your mouth, you will give the appearance of being a hypocrite.

(Matthew 15:17-19)

4. WORK SIX DAYS AND REST ON THE SEVENTH.
Before you beg for more vacation time, ask yourself a few questions,
"Do you honor the Sabbath?" God has already given you 52 days

of time off that equates to seven weeks. "Are your expectations for

work,vacation, and retirement realistic?" By resting one day a week,

you can avoid burnout. (Genesis 3:17-19)

5. RESPECT AND OBEY YOUR BOSS.
You should respect and obey your boss,
because you don't know what it's like to be in their shoes. Plus, your
Ultimate Boss is the Lord. Serve Him faithfully on the job, and He

will bless you. However, if your boss commands you to do something

illegal or immoral, you must make a stand and obey God rather

than man. (Ephesians 6:5-8)

6. PROTECT AND RESPECT HUMAN LIFE.
Emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual manipulation, abuses and

violence have no place in the workplace...or any place. You do not

have the right to use and abuse your boss, co-workers, employees,

customers, or suppliers. (1 Thessalonians 3:1-2)

7. BE TRUE TO YOUR SPOUSE.
If you are not getting the kind of attention
that you feel you deserve at home, it's common to seek it with

someone at work. Honor your wedding vows by avoiding company

romances! They are very tempting, very real, and very common.

They are also verywrong and very destructive. (Matthew 19:8-9)

8. DO NOT TAKE WHAT BELONGS TO OTHERS.
Stealing at work can take many forms. You can choose to steal

materials, money, time, productivity, and joy from your employer

and others. Do not remove your integrity by stealing.

(II Corinthians 7:1-2)

9. DO NOT LIE ABOUT OTHERS.
Do not fabricate stories about your boss, co-workers, and

spread gossip for the sake of company politics. You are here to be

the salt and the light, not the pepper and the darkness! Truth always

rises to the surface, and eventually you will be ashamed and

rebuked if you lie. (1Peter 2: 10-13 )

10. BE SATISFIED WITH WHAT YOU HAVE.
Contentment doesn't mean that you
cannot pursue God-given goals, but it does mean that you are

content with what He has provided you with, day after day.

Contentment is a rarequality in today's culture, but it is extremely

liberating! Materialism, striving for rank , backstabbing, and

discontent lead to emotional, mental, financial, and spiritual

bondage (I Timothy 6:6-11 ).
