When you are working for someone younger than you

Colossians 3:23

Work wholeheartedly as for the Lord, not merely for human approval.

When you are working for someone younger than you. The situation may be ordinary, but the story you attach to it can shape the whole day. The temptation is to solve the discomfort fast. But fast relief and faithful direction are not always the same thing. Work matters, but it is a place of stewardship, not your source of identity. Jesus Christ is Lord in the office, the unemployment line, and the next chapter. You do not have to solve your whole life before lunch. You do need to decide who gets the final word today.

What truth from Scripture needs to become louder than your first reaction today?

Lord Jesus Christ, I bring You the part I can explain and the part I cannot. Keep me from reacting out of fear, shame, pride, or loneliness. Teach me to move with You. Amen.
