If you are tempted to think that you are indispensable at work, you are most likely deceived. On the other hand, the boss may let you know that you are quite dispensable on a weekly or even a daily basis. We live in an age where no one gets the indispensable label at work anymore. Companies that once cut back by firing the workers with the least time in service, now start with the long-time and senior employees. Some people work hard at education, piling up degrees in hopes of gaining that indispensable tag. Others work long hours, perhaps ignoring health and family in order to be indispensable to the firm. Some even start their own company for the supposed security that ownership brings...only to find that customers don't consider their company any less dispensable than any other. The world it seems is a tough place to live and work. No surprise there, God said that very thing just after sending an angel to chase Adam and Eve from Eden.
Then, God sent His Son to tell us that we are quite indispensable to Him. Every lost sheep is found and accounted for, not one is turned away. When the Son went to Jerusalem to do His duty at the cross, He died for every one of His sheep. There are no cutbacks, RIFs, layoffs, or company failures in the Kingdom of God. Each and every found sheep has a task to perform in building the kingdom. All of us have a Savior who lives for us daily. We are adopted into the family of God, and the sons and daughters are never cut loose. Those sheep who feel prodigal for a season are awaited by the Father with eager anticipation and welcomed home with delight and rejoicing. The cross proved how far God went to bring all of us back, for we are all indispensable to Him.
Now, have a better day in Christ!
