In this verse, Paul is referring to slaves and masters. Even though we are workers and not slaves (although sometimes we may feel like one), we have to follow this command—to work with enthusiasm as if we are working for the Lord.

In the workplace, there are leaders and followers, managers and employees. Our attitude is crucial in being successful at work. If you are an employee, offer your work to the Lord and work hard. When you change your perspective, it will be much easier to be diligent and dedicated to your work. If you are a business owner, share your enthusiasm for your company and treat your employees right and with respect. Then you will have happy, loyal, and faithful employees.
