Colossians 3:23-24 "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ."
Reading this verse really got me thinking... "if God were my boss, would I ____?" Guess what? He IS my boss... and He is omnipresent and omniscient. That means He knows what I'm doing, when I'm doing it, and my motivation for doing it. My job is to work as if I was working for Him.
So if I'm a hairdresser, I should cut every person's hair as if I were cutting the Lord's hair. If I'm a business-man, I should show up to work on-time and prepared (let's be honest, we'd never want to be late for unprepared for a meeting with the King!) We are working for the Lord. And while the world may tell us that "it's ok to just ____", the Bible clearly tells us in these two verses that we are to work hard, doing everything as if we were working for the Lord.
Today, as we go through our day, let's pay closer attention to our motivations for what we do and how we do it.
