Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
Integrity Moments is a 60 second workday devotional that provides business leaders with helpful insight into what the Bible says about our work and how we can fully integrate our faith into our vocational calling.

This year a friend asked me to help with a tax hotline on a local television station. Since I’ve done taxes for over forty years, I thought it might be fun, and accepted.

For 3 ½ hours the phone rang nonstop with person after person calling with their tax questions. The work was exhausting, and, it was a little frightening having people ask me questions for which I didn’t always know the correct answer.

After this experience I had a new appreciation and better understanding of those people who work in a call center answering customer calls all day long.

Proverbs 11:12 teaches, “Whoever derides their neighbor has no sense, but the one who has understanding holds their tongue.”

Before mocking someone else’s vocation, try gaining understanding through firsthand experience.
