As a believer in Christ, we are to do our work heartily as for the Lord rather than for men (Colossians 3:23). As a volunteer or paid employee we are to obey those in authority, not with pride, but with a sincere heart, fearing the Lord (Col.3:22). Whatever good things we do, we will recieve back from the Lord (Eph.6:8). We are to serve the Lord with His heart and mind.
Since we belong to Christ (1 Cor. 3:23), we should commit to make our employer and co-workers a success. We must view our job and employer as one of God’s way of developing character in us and confirming us to the image of Christ. We must seek to give a good report about others, not complain, put genuine energy into our jobs, and do tasks expecting only God’s approval. It is important that we talk to our employer about an idea we may have about a task. It is also important that we discover our employer’s goals, clarify our job description, realize that God is our employer, and practice showing gratefulness for our job, employer, and fellow employees.
A job is something to be looked at as something God has given us. We should do our jobs for God’s approval. A job is an opportunity to serve Him with His heart and mind. Serving the Lord with a grateful and humble heart is a desire to strive for.
