Fred, a clerk in a retail store, was rude to the customers and lazy. On several occasions his boss was about to fire him. But he didn't follow through because of his concern for Fred's wife and children, who would suffer from his dismissal.
One day a regular customer stopped in and noticed that Fred wasn't there. He asked the manager about him and was told that he had taken another job. The customer asked, "Are you planning to replace him?" The manager replied, "No, it isn't necessary. Fred didn't leave a vacancy."
Fred's work was of such poor quality that the business was better off without him.
One good way to test the value of your work is to ask yourself this question: If I left my job, would it create a vacancy?
Whatever you are working on,
Engage in it with zest,
Because your work is for the Lord
And He expects your best---
