Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. Ephesians 6:5-6 NIV
Applying this passage to today, we can say that one who is a servant, or an employee should show respect to those who are their superiors in the work they perform. Being respectful, though, does not mean that we set aside truth, righteousness, and holiness in carrying out our duties. If we are asked to do something we know is wrong, we should not perform the deed. We can either leave the job, or report the incident to a proper authority. We can be in disagreement with a task assigned to us, yet, we should perform the task if it does not involve moral issues or some other form of wrong doing.
Although we may not like what we are asked to do, it is pleasing to the Lord if we respect those who are over us. Life is full of incidents when we must do what we don’t wish to do, but do it, as if you were doing it for the Lord. Keep your heart, mind, and soul on following the Lord. He will direct you if you should not do as asked to do by a superior.
