"He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster." Proverbs 18:9 Laziness is not just shown when people avoid work; it also appears when they are present on the job but not producing. Many people have perfected the art of looking busy while doing as little as possible. This is unfair both to their employer and to themselves. But even more it is a disgrace for a child of God to behave this way. Paul wrote, “Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God: And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men” (Colossians 3:22-23). Our work should be the same whether we are working in isolation or with the boss standing directly behind us. God expects us to be diligent in our effort rather than giving in to the temptation to coast by on less than our best. Recognizing the value of our time and effort, and more importantly the value of our testimony, we should give the full measure of effort to every task, whether great or small. Knowing that your work reflects on your testimony as a child of God, diligently do your best in every part of your work.
