“Whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men…for ye serve the Lord Christ” (Colossians 3:23-24).
The Lord may give us some special work to do for Him, but even in our everyday schoolwork, or perhaps in a job that we do for payment, we should do it well, as if we were doing it for the Lord. Sometimes our boss may not treat us well, and then perhaps we are tempted not to do our best at our work. However, we should always do our work as if we were doing it for the Lord. He has done so much for us, and it pleases Him when we do our work as if He were the boss, and not some man or woman here in this world. Then, even if our boss does not treat us properly, the Lord will give us a reward for doing our work for Him.
In the days when this verse was written, many people in the Roman empire were slaves, and had to work for masters who did not treat them well. But some of those slaves got saved, and then they could do their work as if they were serving the Lord. That made it a lot easier!
