Can you be trusted to do your best, even when the boss is not around? (Ephesians 6:6-8)

Ephesians 6:6-8

New Living Translation (NLT)

⁶ Try to please them all the time, not just when they are watching you. As slaves of Christ, do the will of God with all your heart. ⁷ Work with enthusiasm, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. ⁸ Remember that the Lord will reward each one of us for the good we do, whether we are slaves or free.

Paul's instructions encourage responsibility and integrity on the job. Christian employees should do their jobs as if Jesus Christ were their supervisor. Can you be trusted to do your best, even when the boss is not around? Do you work hard and with enthusiasm? Remember that no matter whom you work for, the One you ultimately should want to please is your Father in heaven.
