What would you compromise?
If you were asked to do something unethical by a supervisor that you worked for that could permanently affect your job and future, would you do it? (Example- she or he is wanting you to do something unethical and will make sure you get benefits and offer a better position if you agree to it)
What if it included people's careers,and knowing you are being told to ruin them intentionally because your supervisor told you to, would you do it? What if this job paid you very well and you loved the type of work you did, would you do it? Would you compromise your values and beliefs and what you stand for in Christ? Think about it!
When times get tough, and you feel like you are doing your best in this big world that is trying to swallow you whole with increasing bills, rent and just trying to keep a roof over your head is a full time chose, have you noticed that you are a huge target for the devil? He tries to tempt, deceive and manipulate you to try and knock you of the course for God.
The decisions you make, can not only affect you but also many others. Now what did you answer to the beginning question?
Would you compromise your beliefs, morals, values and agree to do what this supervisor wants, or would you take a stand for Christ, do the right thing, even though you know you will end up costing your job? What decision and how important is this to you? What would you give up to do the right thing and follow God's will?
Do you feel like you are being tried and tested?
Well my friend you are! And to past the grueling tests in our life, we must realize that often the teacher, being God, if often quiet during the test. He hears your prayers, sees your tears and knows what you are going through. He is there and will not leave you, but He know this is YOUR test and He waits patiently by as He watches us take this important test (usually one of the biggest tests we may go through in this life). Friends, I personally just went through a test just like this over a month ago and the Supervisor who confronted me proclaimed to be a Christian but was asking me to do something that was not of God! The decision would affect many lives and would crush dreams and careers of the people it would affect. I WOULD NOT and COULD NOT, and I knew my time at the place I was employed at part-time would be coming to a close because I would refuse to compromise my Christian values, beliefs and morals, despite knowing I would lose a well paying job. It was not an issue of money as some may look at it, but an issue to me of values and what is right and wrong! Within 24 hours of telling this Supervisor No I would NOT compromise, I was offered more hours and increase in pay at another job I was working at! God rewarded me for my faithfulness to Him and He will do the same for you!
Please know that often times God has to direct our paths away from some areas to bring us to better places where He can effectively use us. Sometimes it is you that God will move to other areas instead of moving other people, but also know your obedience and faith in doing God's will is opening a huge area of blessings into your life.
Don't lose faith my friends! Continue On for Christ and Never Compromise! Be Blessed!
