Colossians 3:22
Bondservants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God.
Throughout our lives, many of us will report to a few different kinds of people. Our service to these individuals is to be driven by our love for and fear of the Lord. In my opinion, the KJV and NKJV says it best here, "not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God". Ultimately, we are in service to God above all. How we serve our earthly masters not only reflects upon God, but it serves as a powerful witness to those being served, and all who see that kind of service. May God lead us all as we serve in Christ Jesus!

But none of these things move me, (not knowing what shall befall me v. 23) neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. (Acts 20:24 KJV)
