Pay Day! You ever felt like this after 2 weeks of work? I know many people have direct deposit now so they don't get a physical check but if you've ever gotten an actual pay check before...think back with me...you FINALLY got that job and you were a bit more excited about getting the money than anything else..I mean, you had BILLS and stuff! You read the handbook (as a matta of fact you STUDIED dat thang so you would know the ends and outs), went in, did the work to the best of your ability, asked questions, respected and obeyed your boss, worked well with your co-workers, put in extra time to ensure that you did everything you were supposed to do.  You put in your hours for every scheduled shift for the 2 week period and were HOPING and PRAYING that you wouldn't have to wait 30 days before gettin dat FIRST check!  Either way, whether it was 2 weeks or 30 days you were preparing for PAY Day.  When it FINALLY came and your boss handed you that check, he/she also commended you for a job well done.  It was a wonderful feeling. I imagine that's how it should be at OUR pay day as believers...

Once we accept the job - accept Christ and make a decision to live for Him no matter what...and as a matter of fact He chose US...our Boss - the Lord and Savior, the God Almighty who run dis THANG....yeah...He owns da BIZNESS (get it? ha-ha-ha). At this point, we're SOOO excited about our new position...as a believer, a child of God, as one who has been rescued from hell, redeemed, washed and cleansed through the blood, regenerated by the Holy Spirit, and serving as an ambassador for Christ and His Gospel.  We realize that we have a lotta new responsibilities in our new job so we read the Manual (the Sword, the Truth, the Guidebook, the Word....aka the Bible) and try to memorize it so that we live and abide by it.  We spend time in dat Word so that we understand more about our Boss and why He wants us to do certain things. We ask questions - we ask supervisors, managers, and our co-workers...aka pastors, elders, deacons, saints, and friends (lol)..we also talk to the Boss on a regular basis cuz we wanna make sure we get to know Him better and He is such a great help to us...we tell Him about issues on the job, in our lives, with our co-workers, etc ...(aka we pray).  There's a difference though...we don't know when our Pay Day is with God but we keep working and striving until...that...DAY.  So that He can say the words we should LONG to hear from Him...

Well done, good and faithful servant.You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master (Matthew 25).

Hallelujah.
