COLOSSIANS 3:23
"Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than people."
Who do you think you work for? Like most people, do you think that the person you work for is your boss? Many smart business people tell their workers that the customer is their real boss. After all the customer pays for their services and in the end that is were the paycheck comes from. How should we react when your "boss" or the "customer" you work for is a real pain and causes you nothing but trouble. Should we go postal? What should we think in this circumstance?
No matter what you do for a living. No matter what your tasks are at work, do it heartily and with all you heart and soul. Do your work as though it was for the Lord, and not for any man. You should know that it is from the Lord and not any man that you will receive your inheritance. Receiving the free gift of eternal life is your real reward. We receive our true compensation in heaven. Anything we receive on earth is temporary and fleeting.
You really serve the Lord Jesus Christ in everything that you do and He is the Master that you should want to please. You do not have to fear any earthly boss or position you may have for in the end they have no power over your future. The beginning of wisdom is the fear of God and He is the one to have reverence and respect for. So when you are asked by others, who is your boss, the correct answer is that you work for the Lord and not any person. WHO IS YOUR BOSS?
