Great People Serve God with Excellence - "It's Just a Little Job--Who cares?

  Greatness in Excellence
                                                                   It’s a Little Job—Who Cares?
 
God had big plans for Joseph. Not something piddly and insignificant. No--he was headed for the big time! People from all over would bow to him, even his family. He was pumped!  But the unthinkable happened. Jealous brothers sold him into slavery, and off Joseph went, bound with ropes to, be a slave in Egypt. He was bought by Potiphar, a mighty officer in Pharaoh’s army.

Joseph looked at his assignment—kitchen worker?

Ugh! I was made for better. This is grunt work. Don’t these people know who I am?
 
Oh, that’s not in the Bible? You mean Joseph had a great attitude? Well, you’re right. He was faithful and excellent with that nothing job.

The Bible says Potiphar saw everything that Joseph did prospered. There was no job too small for him. Every dish he washed, every floor he swept, every table he waxed was done—with excellence! Guess what Potiphar did. He promoted Joseph. He promoted Joseph so much that he was put in charge of everything in Potiphar’s house.

Jesus says it best!

                                “He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; 
                                 and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much.”
                                                                          Luke 16:10

God has called you to be great! See any little stuff that needs to be done? See a little person that needs a hug? See some garbage that needs taking out? Just do it! Nike’s popular phrase usually implies something big, something grand!

But Jesus doesn’t think like men. He sees the heart. He is watching those who serve with excellence whether a small job or a really big in the spotlight job! In the Master’s eyes there’s no such thing as just a little job.

Dear Lord,
I want to do the little things with excellence, with love—For You!
