耐心對待同事是一件重要的事。我有一個朋友，是一名好同事，她很有耐心，工作表現超過老闆的期待。 　我注意到很多同事之間並沒有耐心彼此對待，這些人也抱怨他們的工作，沒有耐心做好工作，卻希望只想做一點工作而得到很多報酬。 　人們可以從今天閱讀的經文學到一些事情。保羅提醒我們應當工作，並且「甘心事奉，好像服事主，不像服事人」（第7節）。我們也許會有監視我們工作的世上老闆，但其實我們是為上帝工作。 　有很多人沒有工作，今天你一定要感謝上帝賜給你一份工作，求他幫助你有好的表現，以及用耐心對待別人，並且要為你的同事禱告。 －DF 「要知道，無論是奴僕或是自由人，主都要照各人的好行為報答他。」 以弗所書6:8 禱告：上帝，謝謝祢賜下耐心待人、愛人的機會。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Patience (4)
Bible Reading: Ephesians 6:5-9
Monday, August 17, 2015

It is important that we be patient with people who work with us. I have a friend who is a good co-worker. She is patient, and she also does more work than her boss expects. 　I have noticed that many workers are not patient with each other. These people also complain about their jobs. Instead of patiently working and doing a good job, they expect to do a little work for lots of pay. 　People today can learn from our Bible verses. Paul reminds us that we should do our work “and be happy with it. Work as though it is the Lord you are serving, not just an earthly master” (verse 7). We may have an earthly boss who oversees our work, but we are really working for God. 　Many people do not have jobs. Be sure to thank God today for your job. Ask Him to help you do a good job and be patient with others. And pray for the people you work with. —DF “Remember that the Lord will give a reward for doing good. Everyone, slave or free, will get a reward for the good things they do.” Ephesians 6:8 PRAYER: Thank You, God, for opportunities to be patient and loving. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
