"Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were WORKING FOR THE LORD, rather than for people."
Who do you work for? Who is your Boss? Even if you are working independently, you are still working for your clients or end users. You could say that who ever pays you, is your real boss!
In this world there will always be someone who is over you or to whom you are beholding. It may even be the Government. The smartest business owners know that their customers are the Boss! The customers who pay for your services in the end pay you. In short we all work for some one and the question is who do you work for? The One Truth Today is that you are WORKING FOR THE LORD!
Homemakers, nannies, caregivers, children doing chores in the home, all have one thing in common in this scripture, they are WORKING FOR THE LORD! You should work willingly at whatever you do, as though your boss was really the Lord. In reality you are not working for any person, you are working for God! That is why even the slaves were admonished to be good workers and good slaves in the bible. We have to keep in mind that we are all in servitude to the Lord while we are temporarily here on earth. This is an attitude that is unknown to the unbeliever. You can suffer through any momentary situation because of the promise of the Lord. You will be rewarded by God in the end and the pay is beyond comprehension. So, are you WORKING FOR THE LORD?
No matter what you do, put your whole heart and soul into it, willingly. You are not really working for people, you are, WORKING FOR THE LORD! No complaining because your wages will be much more than any effort extended on your part. You will receive your just compensation from God. The real reward is not in this moment on earth but in Heaven and that eternally. Think about it clearly, you are really a slave to Jesus Christ and He is your master and not anyone else. If you want to be happy and satisfied then always remember in every thing that you do, you are WORKING FOR THE LORD!
