Relationships
Work Conflict
Doing excellent work among difficult people.
What the Word says
“And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.”
Colossians 3:23-24
“If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.”
Romans 12:18
Practical reflection & suggested application — not Scripture
Kingdom principle
Work is done unto the Lord, which changes both the standard and the reaction when it is not acknowledged.
What this can look like in real life
Credit went elsewhere, and you are deciding how much effort tomorrow deserves.
What to do today
- ♕Address the issue directly with the person once, calmly and specifically.
- ♕Document facts rather than feelings.
- ♕Keep your standard where it was, regardless of the outcome.
What to avoid
- —Quiet retaliation.
- —Venting to colleagues.
- —Making a career decision inside the first 48 hours.
Prayer
Lord, help me work heartily as unto You, even where it is not seen. Amen.
Kingdom check
Who am I actually working for?
Am I asking for justice or for revenge?
