Finishing well
March 26th, 2007
After working in my current job for more than ten years I will be leaving in a few months and returning to full time study. The decision is made and the application is in, now I am just doing my best to be patient until it all happens.
One thing I am conscious of in this process is making sure that I finish well. I think at times it is easy to drop the ball in the last few months of a job and not put in the same effort you normally would.
One passage that I am conscious of is Colossians 3:23-24. It says, “Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ”.
These verses make it pretty clear that no matter what we do for a job, we are really serving the Lord. Right up to the last minute of my last day I need to keep that in mind. I need to keep serving Him, working hard in all I do and serving those around me as best I can.
