Who signs your paycheck?
The president, or the corporate treasurer, may attach his
signature to the lower right-hand corner of your check, but it is
God who is your source. God's name may not be on the check, but
if you are a faithful steward, God's blessings are in it, just as
though He had signed that check.
You may have a fine boss, but he is nothing more than the
instrument that God, your source, uses to get to you the wealth
He wants you to have.
God is on the job, watching over you:
- God and His promises are your source. Everything that God has
promised for your life, He will deliver to you.
- No matter what the economic circumstances indicate, no matter
what E. F. Hutton says, no matter what the state of the
country looks like, God can provide.
- God provides the promotions, too. Psalm 75:6-7 says that
promotion comes neither from the east nor the west, but from
God. Don't look to your boss, look to God; He gives the
promotion. Depend on God to do the arbitration for you, to
burden the hearts of those around you to give you the
promotion.
- Live up to your end of the relationship with God. If you are
a slothful saint, don't expect to lie back and let God give
you a promotion. He will not reward slothfulness.
- Become a good worker, an honest worker, giving your employer
a full measure of energy for the time you are on the job.
- Live your life as a good steward, in accordance with the will
of God.
- Use your time wisely on the job, and work for the interests
of your company, turning your own interests over to the
protection and intercession of the Father. Express to God in
prayer your desire for promotion, and tell Him you know He is
your source, your boss, and the one who is in charge of your
promotion.
