Being on time is about more than just appreciating the importance of time; it is a reflection of one’s honesty and reliability, two qualities that are highly valued in the Bible. There is an observation found in Proverbs 22:29 that goes something like this: “Do you see someone who is skilled in their trade? They are going to stand in front of dignitaries.”
Bible characters like Joseph and Daniel are good examples of being on time since they always demonstrate their attention to their work and do it on schedule. They became leaders because of their dedication to carrying out their duties, which not only impressed others around them but also gained them favour with God. Through these stories, we can learn important lessons about how God rewards people who faithfully and diligently perform their jobs.
As Christians in the business world, let us be motivated by the tales of Joseph and Daniel, whether we are employees, owners, or entrepreneurs. Let us accept diligence and timeliness as an expression of our religion, rather than viewing them as purely commercial tactics.
