The impression I make

I was reading this morning in 1 Peter 5 and mostly the letter addresses church leaders and their behavior. Specifically how to lead a church and how to lead people.

Now I do not lead a church and highly doubt that will ever happen but it did make me wonder about the impression I make to the people around me and how I do my job. Because aren't we supposed to work for God and not for men? Translating that everything I do is for Him.

Peter tells the church to be eager in their work but not domineering. To lead by example and with humility.

I may not lead a church but I do work with others daily - side by side. And my prayer this morning was to be eager about my work and not to dread it. And to remember every moment that I am a part of something much bigger than my job - I'm part of the Kingdom of God.

And if that doesn't keep you humble, I'm not entirely sure what will.

Edited to Add: Dread seems like a strong word. I'm not sure I'll change it though. Because if work was fun, it would be called fun wouldn't it?
