Good Friday morning! The subject is resume spelling errors and how as little as one can get yours tossed in the rejection pile. One of the first comments on the blog was from a person who made hiring decisions for a firm. At least 5 spelling and grammatical errors in the short response; all pointed out immediately by other comments. We do seem to have a problem with double standards in our corporate culture. Jesus used a different word for that method of operation and came down on the Jewish leaders many times. So what are we to do with those in charge doing as they will and not as they demand of others?
At first we might say "not much". After all they are in charge. If a chubby congress decided to pass a law demanding svelte physiques all around, we would do our best to obey the law of the land. However, on second thought we always have something very powerful to turn to when we see injustice or unfairness. We can turn to prayer. God is not fooled by anyone; and those who think they can fool God are in fact fools themselves. If a boss applies a different standard to you than he applies to himself, you can approach him about it, but you can also pray for him.
In a time of harsh recession in our economy, we may run into someone firing or not hiring someone else based on a shortcoming or mistake that the decision maker is quite guilty of themselves. Jesus warned us about this in his beam and splinter illustration, "first remove the beam from your own eye..." We will not see a perfect world until Jesus returns. Bring the power of prayer to bear on unfairness or hypocrisy. For your own welfare, once you have given the problem to God in prayer let it go in your mind, don't stew on it and cause harm to yourself.
Have a wonderful Friday in Christ Jesus!
Bucky
