Verse from the Bible:
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.”
(Colossians 3:23)
Real-Life Example:
Sarah and James both have the same job, but their attitudes are different:
- Sarah works with dedication, even when no one is watching. She believes that her effort isn’t just for a paycheck but a way to serve God. Her honesty, hard work, and positive attitude earn her respect and success over time.
- James does the bare minimum at work, complains about everything, and only puts in effort when his boss is around. He feels unfulfilled and stuck because he works only for external rewards, not with a deeper purpose.
This verse teaches that our work—whether in a job, studies, or daily life—should be done with sincerity and excellence, not just for people’s approval but as an act of worship and devotion to God.
