They should pay me more.”“I need to make more money.”
It can get annoying hearing this kind of gripping all the time at work. And does complaining help? So I’ve come up with a solution. Fire the boss!
Step one is to determine which boss to fire. For me there’s a significant hierarchy looming above. Jackie is department manager. John is next up the ladder. And there’s also Angie, Joe, Heather, Tim, Dave, Thomas, Archie, and all the way up to Lee.
He’s CEO of this gigantic corporation. So does he have a boss? Well actually, he kind of does. It would be the stockholders. And they’re into the stock market for one reason—money.
So I’ve concluded from my analysis, money runs the whole show. As it has been said, “If you want to see where the power is, follow the money.”
Jesus said, 'You cannot be a slave of two masters; you will hate one and love the other; you will be loyal to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”
When the central theme/focus of our work-life is the money we earn; this is the master, the boss. And money is not a good boss. Almost always, when “Money” is the boss, his ever present partner tags along. His name is “Worry.”
Now Jesus goes on to say: 'This is why I tell you: do not be worried about the food and drink you need in order to stay alive or about clothes for your body... Look at the birds: they do not plant seeds, gather a harvest and put it in barns; yet your Father in heaven takes care of them! Aren't you worth much more than birds?”
Who’s your boss? “You cannot serve both God and money.”"
