Ephesians 6:5-6 ESV
Bondservants, obey your earthly masters with fear and trembling, with a sincere heart, as you would Christ, not by the way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,
As Christians, our employment and our provision ultimately come from God. Human factors are the channels God has chosen to provide for & supervise over us. Therefore, we ultimately work for Christ, with our employers as the channels.
As a result, we ought to take our work sincerely, even with fear & trembling. We ought not to work to please our colleagues or our boss, but to please God who see all things we do, even in secret. We also don't need to worry about our employers' just rewards, for our ultimate rewards are from God, who is just & generous. We ought to acknowledge God as our Lord, our Boss, the ultimate giver & supervisor of our work.
But God is our heavenly mentor & father, too. He is not a boss who just give jobs & never give help. Often, He gives jobs above our current abilities to build us up, and help us to meet the new requirement. As a result, we are not alone but we can seek help from Him any time. We ought to talk with Him in prayer about our work, our thankfulness & our problems, seek His help & teaching & guidance to do the job well.
