TOPIC: MIND YOUR BUSINESS 2: Be Grateful
Memory Verse: 1 These. 4:11
11. That you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you.
Bible Reading: Math. 25:18
“18 But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his lord’s money.”
Ingratitude changes ones focus. It kills the attitude to work. Minding ones business involves gratitude to who entrusted you with a gift, responsibility or a talent. The master gave everyone talent(s) according to their ability, mind you, your ability can be measured by your attitude. When you lack a good attitude your performance will be limited which in turn affects your productivity. Minding ones business, makes you the focus and not the giver. He felt he was being wicked to the Master not knowing, he was minding someone else’s business leaving his own duty. Minding your business is a prove that, more can be entrusted to you.
Many of us feel relegated and reproached when lesser duty is being assign to us. We become ingrate instead of minding our business and go to work. For someone to entrust you with responsibility, you need to be grateful and convince him/her with productivity. He couldn’t mind his business, after comparison with colleagues, he felt the master was wicked and buried His gift. Be grateful for the little and mind your business to improve on it. It’s a beginning not your end. You just need to prove your worth.
