“MAY DAY…MAY DAY…MAY DAY…”

I am sure we must have heard the words “May Day.” It is a spring holiday; it is also a day marked to celebrate the work force, in recognition of their contribution to the world. Lastly, it is a distress signal, accepted internationally.

The Bible recognises the importance of a good worker, his contribution, and the need for Christians to be good and faithful workers. 
– GOD WORKS – “31 And God saw everything which he had made [creation is the display of God’s work] and it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.” – Genesis 1:31

– GOD WANTS US TO WORK – “28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” – Genesis 1:28

– GOD WANTS A CHRISTIAN TO BE A GOOD WORKER, JUST LIKE HIMSELF – “5 Bondservants, obey your earthly masters with fear and trembling, with a sincere heart, as you would Christ, 6 not by the way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, 7 rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to man, 8 knowing that whatever good anyone does, this he will receive back from the Lord, whether he is a bondservant or is free. 9 Masters, do the same to them, and stop your threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and that there is no partiality with him.” – Ephesians 6:5-9

What kind of a worker are we? *Are we working with integrity? Are we fruitful as a worker? Are we faithful to the work entrusted to us? Are we men and women of integrity, in our work?* Other may not notice it…others may not know it…we know ourselves well – isn’t it? What kind of a worker are we?
