Servants,
be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and
trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; Not with eyeservice, as
menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the
heart; With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:Ephesians 6:5 – 7
This was
originally addressed to slaves, but it applies to employees as well.Basically, it is saying that we work, first
of all, for God.Our bosses are
deserving of our honest, diligent work even when they are not looking.When we serve our bosses, we are serving
Christ.Hopefully, we realize that our
workplace is a place of spiritual service.If we are not glorifying God by our performance at work, we need an
adjustment to our thinking.
Christianity
is not a Sunday thing or a church thing, it is a 24/7 thing.It is who we are supposed to be.When our bosses ask us, “Why is it that you
never slack off or cut corners here at work?”We can answer them, “To glorify God.”
