-MAN, that’s harsh-

“Servants, be submissive to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh.”
- 1st Peter 2:18

Don’t you just despise some teachers?! Well, the Bible says we shouldn’t. I caught myself disobeying what this verse says to do a whole lot this past year in school. I would favor one teacher over enough, so in return I would treat the good one better than the evil one. :)
It’s really hard sometimes, to treat nice when they are mean and rude to you. But God wants us to be that way. He didn’t tell us to be submissive if He knew we couldn’t. He didn’t say, “Respect your masters in all fear, unless they don’t respect you”.
If we treat those harsh masters bad and judge who they are, then how are we ever going to lead souls to the foot of the cross. God didn’t send us on this beautiful place called earth to judge, but to live for Him. We should also do everything for Him, no matter what it is in words or actions (Colossians 3:23 is one good verse).
So, if He wants us to do everything as if we were doing it for Him, would you respect Him? Would you obey Him in what He says? Would you treat Him well? Then treat your bosses WELL! God knows that our lives get rough sometimes, but He promises that He will never leave us (Joshua 1:5b). So if you fail, Let God lift you up and --->TRY AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!
