23 In all the work you are given, do the best you can. Work as though you are working for the Lord, not any earthly master. (Colossians 3:23) 5 Slaves, obey your masters here on earth with fear and respect. And do this with a heart that is true, just as you obey Christ. 6 You must do this not just to please your masters while they are watching, but all the time. Since you are really slaves of Christ, you must do with all your heart what God wants. 7 Do your work, and be happy to do it. Work as though it is the Lord you are serving, not just an earthly master. 8 Remember that the Lord will give everyone a reward for doing good. Everyone, slave or free, will get a reward for the good things they do. (Ephesians 6:5-8) No matter where we find ourselves, we must consider our working as being done for Christ, not man. We have no excuses to do mediocre work. In fact, we should not even expect a reward in this lifetime, though God may provide one. All our work is heavenly work, whether we are a butcher, plumber, or pastor. What an incredible witness Joseph had, that when he came to Potiphar’s house, the entire kingdom was blessed on account of him. Let that be said of us as men – that where we go, our work is so excellent as unto God, that our entire atmosphere is blessed. Remember, our work speaks louder of our character than our words. Practical Steps: 1.) This week, work harder than anyone else in your department/field. Pray this morning that God would use your work to bless the company you work for.
