Giving Credit Where Credit Is Due
Proverbs 3:27 – Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is in your power to act. (NIV)
Proverbs 31:31 – Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate. (NIV)
My surroundings needed a little tender loving care to make them more functional. My plan was to switch the use of one room to another purpose. I asked God to lead the way in the things that I had planned to do, and I followed His directions during the planning stages. I had to work with several individuals to complete the work that I needed done, and when it was finished, I obtained the results that I was looking for. They all did an excellent job, and everything fell into place — mission accomplished!
I was then asked to complete an online survey on their behalf so that their bosses and upper management would be aware of their performance. How could I not? When I filled out each survey, my comments were honest and sincere, and my reviews were positive and true.
When credit is due to others, they deserve to receive it. For the people around us who work hard, it is important to reward them with the highest praise appropriate for their work. During my long-term career, I, too, looked forward to sitting down at year-end with my immediate supervisors to discuss my performance during the year and to receive credit by way of a nice bonus.
Ephesians 6:9 – And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him. (NIV)
2 Corinthians 8:7 – But just as you excel in everything — in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in your love to us — see that you also excel in this grace of giving. (NIV)
It is good to be charitable, kind, and generous to the people in the service industry. For the services that they provide us, they deserve to be recognized.
How many people have made a difference in your life recently? Have you told them how grateful you are for their help in making your plans a success?
Prayer: Our Father in heaven, the Maker of heaven and earth, we thank You for the opportunity to share with others what You have given to us so freely. Lord, help us not to withhold our gratitude for jobs that are well done, and gladly to take the time to make a difference in someone else's life, even when we are not asked to do so. It is in Jesus' name that we pray. Amen!
