READ: Ephesians 6:1-6
... not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart. Ephesians 6:6
Cartoonist Scott Adams has become famous for his humorous cartoon strip Dilbert. He also wrote a book in the 1990s called *The Dilbert Principle*. In it he mocks technology, leadership fads, and incompetent managers. Many laugh out loud at the connections the book makes with their own work-a-day world.
Regarding employee laziness and deceit, the author writes: When it comes to avoiding work, it is fair to say I studied with the masters. After nine years ... I learned just about everything there is to know about looking busy without actually being busy.
Believers, however, have a much higher calling when it comes to dealing with employers. In the Scriptures, we are encouraged to exhibit a respectful attitude toward those who supervise us: Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ; not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart (Eph. 6:5-6).
The right work ethic begins with a heart of sincerity in which we consider Jesus Christ our employer. We please Him when we diligently serve our boss and others in the workplace.

Whatever task you find to do,

Because theres One who sees it all. Sper
No matter who your boss is, you are really working for God.
